One of the UK's top TikTok creators says it can be a great learning tool - after a poll for the BBC indicated many young people use it for hours daily.
Grace Keeling, 23, known for her candid, funny, short videos, has 2.5 million followers and her own podcast.
She admits users can become "wrapped up" in the app, but also says she's "probably learned more on TikTok than I did at school".
And she says TikTok is increasingly seen as having "everything on the app".
Her comments echoed an online poll conducted by Ipsos on behalf of Radio 1 and BBC Newsbeat. It asked a representative sample of 2,719 British young people aged 16-24 about their social media usage.
Within the wider sample, 83% said they used at least one social media platform every day.
Of those daily users, most reported using video-based platforms, with 39% saying that they were on TikTok for more than three hours a day.
Meanwhile, 36% of daily users said they used YouTube for the same length of time.
Among that daily group, the survey also found:
- Instagram was the most popular social media app, with YouTube and TikTok tied for second place
- The biggest reasons young people gave for using TikTok and YouTube were "to be entertained" and "to avoid boredom"
- Over a quarter of TikTok users have never created any content for the platform
