TikTok Trends and Updates

TikTok creators have been entertaining us with the #InspirationalQuotes trend. This trend combines relatable experiences, modern communication ambiguity, and a touch of sarcasm to create (not so) inspirational quotes. Using snippets of text messages, direct messages, and voicemails, creators place them against stock imagery to create scenes reminiscent of classic motivational posters. The format is flexible, allowing participation from the entire TikTok community. The contrast between the messages and the Vanessa Carlton track adds a comedic element to the videos.

Another popular trend on TikTok is the use of Kevin MacLeod's 'Monkeys Spinning Monkeys' track. This sound has become the go-to choice for videos depicting comedic moments and wacky hijinks. From pranks to cute cat videos, this sound sets the tone for various funny videos.

TikTok also introduces new creative effects, such as the Flip Card effect, which allows users to create videos with advanced editing skills. Creators have used this effect creatively, freezing frames on videos where they express anger.

In the Creator Spotlight, Chance Moore and Kate Hudson share videos about their lives as parents to Eliza, a 10-month old girl battling cancer. Their videos showcase positivity and optimism, inspiring a dedicated following of fans.

In case you missed it, TikTok recently hosted a live session with Demi Lovato, giving viewers a glimpse into her mind. Additionally, TikTok has joined the Coalition to End Wildlife Trafficking Online, showing their commitment to combatting this issue. TikTok also held its inaugural hackathon, promoting innovation and creativity within the platform.
