According to Appinventin, TikTok had over 500 million active users across the world in 2020. It has grown to be more popular than ever, and more popular than plenty of other social media apps.

TikTok seems to have grown so quickly due to reaching a wide audience full of teenagers and young adults, making up the generation best known as Gen Z or zoomers. According to Appinventin, 41 percent of TikTok users were the ages of 16-years-old to 24-years-old in the year of 2020. On top of that, TikTok is also extremely accessible to many people around the world, due to the app being available in over 155 countries and being in 75 different languages.

The app is popular for its short videos, usually full of fun and engaging content, making it a quick and easy source for entertainment. It has already hit an incredible milestone of one million views per day within a year of its launch, according to Appinventin. It has since surpassed that milestone. With such a wide range of videos and users, it’s surprising for anyone when they are able to go viral. The app’s algorithm works based on user activity, meaning enough people must have watched Grey and his mother’s videos in order for them to gain such extreme popularity.

With the help of his mom, Grey has been taking the Internet by storm. His mother has uploaded countless photos and videos of her precious boy on social media apps such as TikTok and Instagram with the handle @greyandmama.
