What is 'Year on TikTok'?

In 2020, a Year on TikTok provided an overview on what made your personal page unique. It presented your most-liked special effects, comment activity and preferred music genres and audio clips. It also assigned a "vibe" based on your activity. 

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. 

"It's been incredible to see the depths of entertainment and creativity from this community, and we're delighted to celebrate all the ways we've come together this year."
