Toutiao is the official app of this popular news and informational content platform, owned by ByteDance, better known as the company behind TikTok. The way this app works is very similar to that of other news aggregators. This means it's the users themselves who, through their votes, make some news stories more popular (and therefore more visible) or less relevant.
The app Toutiao is separated into a series of categories and sections, which will allow you to filter the content according to your interests and preferences. For example, you'll be able to see only sports or cultural news. Likewise, you can also simply take a look at its extensive video section, where you'll find thousands of hosted videos, often uploaded directly by users of the platform.
An interesting aspect of Toutiao is that it uses a combination of algorithm and human moderation to control the news flow. The goal of this algorithm is to de-emphasize fake news and redundant content. Similarly, human moderators working on the platform ensure that duplicate or poor quality content doesn't make it on the platform.
Toutiao is one of the most widely used news aggregators in the world, with a community of millions of users and an absolutely colossal flow of videos and news. All this content is accessible from anywhere in the world.
