With TikTok's days in the U.S. potentially numbered, many American users are moving to another Chinese social media app: RedNote, a heavily censored platform similar to Instagram. Here's what to know.

A Chinese social media app called “RedNote” or Xiaohongshu is the top app in Apple's App Store as TikTok users are searching for alternatives.

TikTok users are reportedly ditching the Chinese-owned app in droves as a possible US ban approaches, many jumping onto the "Goodbye to my Chinese spy" meme in the process. But the kicker is that many of them are choosing to jump onto RedNote. Yup, RedNote is Chinese, too.

TikTok could be outlawed in the U.S. as soon as Jan. 19 over concerns about its Chinese ownership, unless it gets a reprieve from the Supreme Court or if Beijing-based parent company ByteDance complies with a federal law forcing it to sell its stake in the app.

As a possible ban on TikTok in the United States looms, several other Chinese-owned social media apps have gained popularity. Newsweek reached out to TikTok via its website for comment. TikTok will appear before the Supreme Court on Friday in a final attempt to prevent a national ban on the app.

As the threat of a TikTok ban looms, some U.S. TikTok users are flocking to Chinese social media app Xiaohongshu – making it the top downloaded app in the U.S.

A law that could see TikTok shut down in the U.S. threatens to ensnare other Chinese social media apps gaining traction in the country, legal experts say.
