Triller is an American video-sharing social network and entertainment platform first released in July 2015.[2][3] The app is available for iOS and Android and follows a similar style to that of TikTok, another video sharing service. The app has over 120 million downloads,[4][5] as a result of TikTok's ban in India.[6][7]

Events

In April 2020, Triller partnered with musicians Migos, Marshmello and others to perform in a digital music festival.[8][9]

Triller announced in July 2020 that the platform would host a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones.[10] Triller paid over $50 million to host the boxing match.[11][12][13] The fight was speculated to be a method for getting more users in an attempt by Triller to become more widely known and used by influencers.[13]

In the video creator community, celebrity vloggers Bryce Hall and Hype House moved from TikTok to Triller.[14]

Sway House member Josh Richards became the Chief Strategy Officer of Triller after concerns for safety over user data motivated him to find a "safe place" for himself, other creators and users.[citation needed]

In August 2020, Donald Trump made an account on the platform, possibly as a political action against TikTok.[15][16] When Fox Business reported on the new account, Trump had over 1 million views on Triller.[17] Within a week his first video had over 100 million views, however it was later shown in a video uploaded by a YouTuber who goes by the alias realjamesh that someone had used a view bot to send millions of views to the video.[18] In September 2020, Donald Trump Jr. endorsed Triller and joined the platform.[19]

In August 2020, Triller partnered with B2B music company 7digital, which will provide Triller with access to its catalogue of 80 million tracks, as well as reporting to Sony Music, Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and Merlin Network.[20]

On October 2, 2020, Triller signed licensing deals with the rights societies PRS for Music, GEMA, STIM and IMRO, and the publishers Concord, Downtown and Peermusic.[21]

In October 2020 Triller was accused of inflating its user numbers to make it seem more popular than it actually was.[22]
