The Chinese short video-sharing app, TikTok finds itself in a difficult spot after its Google Play Store rating dropped to just 1, following a serious backlash from internet users. Users in India are giving a 1-star rating to the app on the Google Play Store for the past few days due to which the app's current rating has come down to 1.3 from 4.5 on the app store.
The app has remained in controversy ever since it was launched in India. It once again made the news after YouTuber CarryMinati posted a video on YouTube roasting popular TikToker Amar Siddiqui in the wake of the 'YouTube vs TikTok' battle. The video was an instant hit but was later taken down by YouTube.
Following this, the users started giving TikTok 1-star rating with the #bantiktok hashtag trending on Twitter. The app still has a rating of 4.8 on the App Store.
Another setback for TikTok came when a video of TikToker Faisal Siddiqui on acid attacks went viral, leading to more poor ratings on the Google Play Store and demand for ban to be imposed on the app.

In response, the platform said that it expects users to adhere to its policies at all times.

"Over the last few days, we have acted on several pieces of content that violated our policies. We have taken action including taking down content, suspending the accounts of the concerned users and are working with law enforcement agencies, as appropriate,” it added.
