What happens after TikTok is banned in India?

The app TikTok has a huge user group as a large number of people in the country used the app on a daily basis. There were many who excelled in the talent of using the app and its features in such a way that it created nice videos. These users were termed as TikTok celebrities as their content were highly trending on the video platform.

If the app is banned in India, these TikTok celebs will have to shift to alternate social media apps in order to continue with their work. These celebrities also have a large fan following and thus they will have to cater to them by shifting their content on other apps. Apps like Instagram and Snapchat can be used to post similar TikTok videos, but they will have to adjust their material according to the tools available on these apps.
