Users have posted nearly 12 billion videos on TikTok this spring

TikTok users posted about 11.9 billion videos on the platform this spring. That can be deduced from statistics that TikTok itself has published. The numbers are for videos that have been removed.

The number of videos on TikTok grew by around 5 percent in the spring from the previous months, according to the report. Transparency Report from the company. That number can be calculated by comparing the percentage of videos removed with the number of videos removed. The total number of videos posted can be derived from this.

The number of videos posted is still growing. Growth varies greatly from quarter to quarter. Last winter, the number of videos increased by 19 percent; in the previous period it was about 4 percent. TikTok has about a billion users, but many of them don’t post videos at all.

TikTok removes around 1 percent of all videos. That came to 113 million videos in the spring. This is usually done automatically. Many of the videos removed are dance videos of minors that the algorithm considers too explicit. Minors in too few clothing are also an important reason for removal. Showing sensitive data is another important reason to delete videos.
