TikTok has faced security and privacy concerns while under government scrutiny. If you’re worried about whether it will remain a viable service, the good news is that it’s not the only short-form video-based social media platform out there.

Here are the five best alternative apps you can use instead of TikTok so you don't get into trouble.

Snapchat was doing the video thing long before TikTok had its moment. The app lets you create short videos, but they’re designed to disappear after a short time, so they don’t have the same staying power or impact as a TikTok video. It does, however, offer significantly more privacy.

With Snapchat, you can add text and doodles to your video creations. You can also use the magic eraser, instant touch-ups, and music picker to make your videos stand out with little effort.
