If the holding power of TikTok is strong enough (which it just might be) then you might actually see teens start to switch to Android.

I wonder how many Android users would actually sideload it. Same happened with Fortnite for a few years, and idk how many people did that.

    Fortnite never had even a hundredth of the smartphone screentime as Tiktok. I honestly think a lot (at least 5 million) Android users will sideload it once it comes to that.

    Or DJI. Side loading is so easy, we usually just call it "installing an app" there is no hacking or magic around that, works just like a .exe with some extra protections.

    I don't think it would be as unlikely as you'd think. It's not impossible for a significant amount of people to get a cheap Android for these apps, after all iPhones are a result of iMessage.
