The social short video app TikTok, developed by Beijing-based Bytedance, attracted 188 million new users worldwide during the quarter ended March 31, a 70% jump year on year, according to a recent report by research firm Sensor Tower.

The rapid growth was mainly driven by India where 88.6 million new users downloaded the app during the period.
