Tik Tok Lite is a way to view the popular social media app Tik Tok on Android. Tik Tok has recently taken the world by storm. Almost anywhere that you look, you can find an ad for the app, a teenager making a video, or someone making a reference. Tik Tok has even made people famous and millionaires almost overnight. If you want to view this sensation with the light form of the app, Tik Tok Lite is the way to do it.

Lightweight

Taking up only 15 MB of memory and about 100 MB of storage, Tik Tok Lite is an extremely small way of viewing all of the popular TikTok videos today. It lacks some of the features of the full version of the app, but because of this, Tik Tok Lite can be used if you have only 3G or even 2G cell reception or a weak internet connection. Also if you have data or bandwidth caps, Tik Tok Lite can help you reduce the amount of data that you download while still keeping yourself in the loop.

Features

Coming in with many of the features that the basic Tik Tok users will be looking for. You can still watch videos of your favorite creators with the light app. If you want to share a video, you can click the share button and copy the link and then go to whatever app you want to share it on. You can also still discover new Tik Tok videos, so you will stay up to date with all of the sounds, dances, and trends on the app.

Comparison to the Full Version

Although most of the functions that most Tik Tok users want are available in the light version, there are a few things missing. For example, if you want to upload your own videos, you are going to run into some problems with the Tik Tok Lite app. This means that if you want to upload your own videos to Tik Tok and use their recording studio, you should download the full version of the app as well.

When viewing videos, you may notice a few differences between the full version and the light app. As already mentioned, you cannot directly share the video with others, but you can still copy the link. You also will not find functions to duet or stitch the video since you cannot actually upload your own videos with this app. The average video quality will also be lower since it is the light version, which is intended to save data.

Pros and Cons

While it makes for a strong app and is great for Tik Tok users that just want to watch videos if they do not have great cell service, Tik Tok Lite has a few flaws because it is a lightweight app.

  • Small install size
  • Less lagging
  • Very clean and simple user interface

Cons

  • Can't upload your own videos to Tik Tok
