TikTok users are turning to another Chinese app called RedNote as an alternative ahead of the TikTok ban in the U.S.
RedNote is similar to TikTok, allowing users to share short clips and is currently the most downloaded app on Apple's app store.
However, RedNote raises similar privacy and national security concerns as TikTok, with a privacy policy written in Mandarin and data collection practices.
Experts advise users to opt for U.S.-based short-form video services like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts to avoid potential risks.
