Everything You Need to Know About RedNote

With the looming threat of a TikTok ban in the U.S., many TikTok users are turning to an alternative: RedNote.

These users, who now call themselves “TikTok refugees,” have made a swift move to the Chinese social media platform, with RedNote soaring to the top of the U.S. App Store.

RedNote, a TikTok competitor popular in China, Taiwan, and other Mandarin-speaking regions, combines the best features of TikTok and Instagram.

With about 300 million monthly users, RedNote has quickly gained traction as the go-to platform for those seeking a new home after TikTok’s uncertain future in the U.S.

The urgency to migrate has been fueled by a January 19 deadline set by the U.S. Supreme Court for TikTok to either sell its U.S. operations or face a ban. TikTok has refused to comply, leading to a potential shutdown of the app in the country.

As a result, thousands of TikTok users have sought refuge on RedNote, where there are already 63,000 posts on the topic of “TikTok refugees.”
