TikTok users aren’t waiting for the other shoe to drop, with many identifying as “TikTok refugees” already switching over to alternative social media apps ahead of a potential nationwide ban in the US.

Back in December, it was decided by Congress that TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, would have to sell the company to an American owner by Jan. 19, 2025, with Joe Biden signing the legislation into law. With no sign of that happening within the next five days, users are looking elsewhere.

The app of choice for those ditching the popular platform is RedNote, another Chinese company that few outside of its home country heard of before talk of a TikTok ban. The alternate has become the most downloaded app on the Apple app store and reached over 10 million downloads on the Google Play store as of Tuesday (Jan. 14) morning, Yahoo News reports.

Check out our quick explainer below to learn more about the app that could potentially take TikTok’s spot in The States.
