What is 'Year on TikTok'?

In 2021, we're getting a full list of what made the platform's 1 billion users tick.
"For us, 2021 was a year for connection and we’ve seen people on TikTok laughing together, entertaining us, starting cultural phenomenons and teaching us new things," COO Vanessa Pappas said in a statement.
