Hence, they can interact and communicate using features such as comments and direct messages (Rangaswamy et al., 2020). The large number of active users and downloaders of TikTok shows that TikTok is popular and  becomes  an  ideal platform  for  digital  marketing. The  digital  marketing  with  TikTok  has  a  positive  impact on consumers and marketers.
