TikTok gained so much fame in a very little amount of time as a short video-sharing app. It started a completely new trend on the internet. Both creators and viewers are loving the idea of short entertaining videos. The contents are very easy to create and take about only 15-30 seconds to watch.
Following the trend, big companies like Facebook and Google also started providing short video sharing platforms on Instagram and YouTube. And after TikTok got banned in India for privacy violation even more content-sharing apps came to the market. Here we have made a list of all the best the Video sharing Apps that you can use on your Android or iOS Smartphones.
Sharechat
ShareChat is an Indian-made social media platform that allows users to create and share videos on their app. It became quite popular in India for content like WhatsApp status, PUBG videos, and food videos. Sharechat video is a good replacement for the TikTok video. The app supports 15 different languages, including Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi, and many more. Aside from videos, they also allow you to share status, Gifs, audio songs, and meme posts.
Moj
Moj is also created by Sharechat developers. But instead of giving a full social media experience, this app only focuses on short videos. You can watch dance comedy, vlogs, and tons of other videos on the moj. Moj also allows you to create and share your own videos. It provides tons of special effects, stickers, and filters for content creation.
YouTube Shorts
YouTube is the most popular video-sharing platform on the planet. Now they also have the YouTube Shorts(yt shorts) feature, which allows you to share short-duration videos in the form of a story. You can access YouTube Shorts videos right from the YouTube app and don’t need any separate apps.
Instagram reels
Instagram has also taken the same approach as YouTube and created a section for Instagram Reels inside the App. They already had stories to share, 15-second video,s and IG TV for longer videos. The main reason behind Instagram reels was to create an alternative for TikTok to take the short video sharing trend to the next level. Instagram Reels quickly became very popular among Instagram content creators as well as normal users.
Aside from Instagram reels, Facebook also had a Lasso video-sharing app. However, it was shut down on 10 July 2020.
MX TakaTak
MX Media is popular for its MX Player. When Chinese apps were banned in India, they instantly saw an opportunity to create a replacement for TikTok, and MX Taka Tak was born. It has a very similar user interface to TikTok and provides all the tools to create short music videos, funny dialogue dubbings, lip sync videos, and many more. Because of the right timing for the launch, MX Taka Tak also ended up being very popular.

Josh is currently the most trending social media app in the Google Play Store. It’s basically just another video-sharing app. You can watch, create, and share dance, music, prank, and other videos on Josh. They also run daily challenges with hashtags; the winner gets rewarded with prizes and followers.
Roposo
At the moment, Roposo might not be as famous as the others on the list. But there was a time when this app caught everyone’s attention. Roposo has over 100 million downloads, which means plenty of users to watch your videos if you are a content creator. Because of the data-saving feature, it’s also great for viewers.
TikTok
We can’t leave the original king of video-sharing apps out of this list. Yes, it’s banned in India, but still available in other countries. With over 2billion downloads and 689 million monthly active users, it’s the most popular video-sharing app ever. Some of the most popular movie celebrities and sports stars also share their videos on this app. However, there have been multiple reports of privacy and data theft against TikTok, so we don’t really recommend it.
There are so many options available when it comes to video-sharing apps. out of those, we just like these particular ones. If you have any other good apps for creating and viewing short videos, let us know.
