Upon downloading the app, you can watch TikTok videos without creating an account - but if you do decide to build your own profile, you can follow other “musers,” like videos, and, of course, make your own. Now, the branding on TikTok includes “musernames,” the same lingo Musical.ly used with its “musers,” and the app icon itself is the combined logo of both TikTok and Musical.ly.
