Chinese social media app RedNote is the number one app as TikTok ban looms

A Chinese social media app called “RedNote” or Xiaohongshu is the top app in Apple's App Store as TikTok users are searching for alternatives.

RedNote has been gaining popularity as many TikTok creators have begun posting about their experiences trying out the Chinese app. The app is set up very much like TikTok, with the ability to vertically scroll through feeds of shortform videos based on your interests. CNBC reports that the more than decade-old app is seen as a challenger to ByteDance’s Douyin and e-commerce giant Alibaba, with about 300 million users.
