Not long ago, a new social media app called TikTok showed up on the internet. This app is usually used for sharing videos or slide shows. TikTok became very popular overnight, and people worldwide started using it. You can find many videos there, which is a great way to take your daily dose of laughter because you can find many hilarious videos. But how do you upload videos of TikTok from the gallery? Here are some answers.
Where to start?
If you are about to become a part of the TikTok community and share videos there, you first need to sign up. To download the app from the Apple store or if you are an Android user, head to the Google Play Store and download it from there. Now that you have the app installed, it is time to create an account. Follow the basic registration steps and when you are done, sign in. 
Now, if you are one of those people who just want to watch videos and share any, you don’t have to be worried about privacy issues. Your account should be private if you intend to post recorded videos. This option can be found in the main menu, and its purpose is to make sure your videos cannot be seen by anyone but only by those who sent you a request to follow.
This means that you have approved them to see your shared content, which is the same as any other popular app you must have been using earlier. In addition to privacy, you can manage the app's other options in this menu. Just follow the directions you will have shown on the display screen.

Before the final step, you will have a video editor open, where you can find some options to edit your content.
