According to a security company, the viral video app gets more hits than the American search engine.

The rankings show that TikTok has held the number one position since August, and that it knocked off the number one spot in February, March and June.

A number of sites including Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and TikTok were in the top 10 last year.

It is believed that the surge in Tiktok's popularity is due to the fact that people were stuck at home and looking for entertainment during the Covid outbreak.

According to Sensor Tower, TikTok had been downloaded more than three billion times by July.

The social network, which is owned by a Chinese company called Bytedance, now has more than one billion active users across the world.

In China, the app is called Douyin and runs on a different network to comply with the country's censorship rules.

In September of 2016 it was released. The platform was limited to 40 minutes a day for users under the age of 14.

Musical.ly, an app which allowed users to share videos of themselves lip-syncing to songs, was merged with TikTok, an international social media service.

The social media platform has been the subject of controversy before. Musical.ly was found to have knowingly hosted content published by under-age users and was fined a record amount.

Politicians and regulators outside of China have raised concerns about security and privacy of Chinese apps.

Last year, TikTok was forced to deny that it was controlled by the Chinese government.

Theo Bertram, TikTok's head of public policy for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said it would not hand over data to China.

TikTok's success is due to the popularity of food and recipe videos, which get millions of views.
