ByteDance-Owned Product Showcase App ‘Lemon8’ is Rising Up the App Store Charts
While US senators debate whether or not to ban its main app, TikTok owner ByteDance is already working on building its American presence, with its Instagram-like Lemon8 app now rising up the App Store charts.
Looks familiar right?
Lemon8, which is described as ‘a place for young creatives to share a diversity of content’, kind of looks like a cross between Instagram and Pinterest, with a focus on products, and highlighting content from specific product categories, including fashion, makeup, food, and travel.
The app has actually been available since 2020, and has been somewhat popular in Asian nations. But now, it’s on the rise in the US as well, with Lemon8 reaching the top 10 for overall app downloads over the last week.
