A lot of TikTok users immediately downloaded RedNote and social media users reacted hilariously to what was happening. Here are the top 15 funny reactions to RedNote replacing TikTok as their go-to video application!

RedNote: Explained

RedNote launched in China in 2013, becoming one of China's fastest-growing social platforms.

In China, RedNote is Xiaohongshu (Trans. Little Red Book). RedNote, just like TikTok is focused on its short-form content and skits, making it the best shoo-in for TikTok if ever it gets banned in the U.S.

Maybe the reason RedNote became an instant hit to U.S. TikTok Refugees is its familiarity with TikTok and its user-friendly interface—easy to understand and navigate.


No matter what U.S. citizens will use as an alternative to TikTok—may it be RedNote or Douyin, always keep in mind to check its terms and conditions, so that there will be no data breach on your end. That's it. Happy RedNote-ing!
