After being banned and making a comeback, TikTok is now one of the most popular free apps on the Google Play Store. It has over 500 million downloads and enables users to create short lip-synced or standard videos with an option to throw in various effects and filters. Our many members, who are using the Tik Tok app, have received notifications from Google Play Store – Remove this malicious app from your devices. According to Google Play, “this app (Tik Tok) tries to spy on your personal data, such as SMS messages, photos, audio recordings, or call history.
