Looks like TikTok is slowly imploding. I know there's plenty of political implications and a lot of discussion here is on that (which is interesting in its own right), but I wonder if there's opportunity here for a potential competitor.

Not for long! The banhammer is coming for them!

The third option - accessing only browser sites - is under appreciated. I never needed to install Google's MDM on my mobile devices, I just used mobile web gmail and so forth. It's great, honestly, and the mobile web Calendar has the advantage that it doesn't destroy your battery life like the Calendar app will. I even saw a guy using the code review site on his mobile, on BART. That was dumb from the standpoint of i…
Part of me thinks that MDM on employee phones has become a something of a checkbox item because customers ask for it but it's not clear to what extent it really protects sensitive customer data (which is what they're concerned about).

Between this and streamers such as Ninja talking against the app, I do hope this signals the death knell for tik tok...
Probably not. Gen Z is already addicted to it. They like it more than all other social media apps from what I've seen.

When I worked at Google over 5 years ago, mobile device options for accessing company accounts were a company-provided and company-owned device with a company-paid phone bill, a personal device with company-provided mobile device management (and sometimes cell phone bill expensing if you for example had on-call duties), a personal device with only limited browser-based work account access, and no account access via m…

Wouldn't be surprised if Google, Facebook, or Microsoft suddenly come out with a competing app. Didn't google have one that they shut down recently?
Tell me a single good social app from Google. I'll wait. It's not like they didn't try, but all of them seem to suffer from the design by committee syndrome.
Edit: Oh, I forgot the one staring me in the face—Youtube! It's no less of a social network than TikTok.

Yes but none of those apps make their way to top 10, dont they? US works this way. They eliminate whatever not originating from their own companies. TikTok is very clear example of this. Give me a break about "Security concerns". Everyone knows that whats happening around TikTok is political.
Yes it is political. It is CCP controlled company. How is that hard to imagine? Yes this is a problem of National Security. India was the first to ban these apps. I don't see you having a problem there! But if US does it, it pains you. Why? Is National Security a concern only for Countries except US? Why is US an exception in your argument? If China can ban foreign apps why can't other Countries do the same? I don't…
I feel like this TikTok backlash is so overblown. I don't think TikTok is spying on US consumers/business, and I don't think TikTok is sharing any US private data with CCP... I believe this because there's no evidence to the contrary, and out of principle you shouldn't assume malintent. In fact, TikTok explicitly left Hong Kong because if they didn't they would have to share private data with CCP to comply with new l…
China is bad.

What does tiktok have that IG stories or SnapChat does not provide? It appears to me that TikTok is just a perpetuation of exclusivity in Social Networks (the same way kids exited FB when their parents signed up) ...
The discovery tab (For You) is awesome. Its the first social app where the discovery tab is better than your feed, so much more that you can actually use it without following anyone. It's quite addictive too, you can easily spend half an hour watching videos. The way the discovery tab works also created a meta game: Alt TikTok, Deep TikTok, Elite TikTok, ... The exclusivity aspect is there too, very few users are ove…
