But TikTok is the crown jewel of the ByteDance portfolio; it recently hit its fifth straight quarter as the most downloaded app in the App Store, according to a new Sensor Tower report.
Flipchat is currently a Chinese app that's set to compete with WeChat, the messaging app that dominates in China. However, its arrival might be cause for worry for one U.S. company: Facebook.
As Facebook showed at its F8 developer conference, Facebook has placed its chips on private messaging as the future of the company, big time. It is consolidating the infrastructure between its disparate DMing platforms — Messenger, Instagram DM, and WhatsApp — and betting on private communication as the future of its users.
With TikTok's popularity and novelty, the newly messaging and privacy oriented Facebook might want to keep Flipchat in its rear view mirror.
