Mitron app giving tough time to TikTok month after its launch

Mitron app, an Indian prototype of TikTok, has registered over 50 lakh downloads, becoming one of the most popular brands in the country within a short span of time. The app was released just over a month ago and is now giving a tough competition to TikTok, which is facing a crisis in India after multiple controversies, NDTV reported.

The app has reportedly been developed by IIT Roorkee student Shivank Agarwal. The first glance of the app looks like a clone of TikTok.

Mitron stood at the number seven of Free Apps on the Google Play charts, ahead of Instagram, Helo, and Facebook, as on April 26. It falls behind TikTok (number two) and Aarogya Setu (in the top place). However, on Monday it was at the number two spot as seen in this tweet by Deepak Abbot, a former Senior Vice President of Paytm.
