Full-bleed video, a few persistent controls, and a creation flow that starts from the camera. Nothing on screen argues with the clip.
Impact
It changed how culture moves. Trends, teaching, and entertainment now assume a format this direct.
How it works
The product is the phone. Swipe for the next video, tap to respond, and record without leaving the rhythm of the feed.
Why it won
Social networks accumulated chrome for a decade. TikTok won by giving the frame back to the person on camera.
