Snapchat Spotlight
Snapchat Spotlight is the way to go when it comes to TikTok alternatives if you’d like to avoid the big tech elephant in the room. Despite many attempts, Snapchat is not owned by Meta, or any other big tech firm, and has been firm in its efforts to stay independent from those kinds of influences.
The Snapchat Spotlight tool is similar to YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels, though, in that it’s merely a part of the Snapchat system, and the interface is the same with vertical scrolling videos, hashtags, comments, likes, and all of that stuff you’ve come to love from TikTok.
The primary difference from Snapchat Spotlight and other options on this list, though, is that it doesn’t offer a dedicated Discover page to find new videos. Snapchat is still firmly committed to its Stories functionality, so the explore feature is all stories, but you can still scroll through new videos from users you don’t follow.
