UpScrolled Surges Amid TikTok Controversy
- UpScrolled, an Australian app, reached number two in the social media category on Apple’s App Store.
- The app experienced a surge of about 14,000 daily downloads from Thursday to Saturday, significantly higher than its previous average.
- This growth was driven by dissatisfaction with TikTok over alleged political bias and censorship claims.
- UpScrolled’s founder, Issam Hijazi, reported server strain due to the influx of new users.
The recent surge in UpScrolled’s popularity highlights growing user frustration with TikTok amid accusations of political bias and content suppression. This has led many users to seek alternative platforms that promise a censorship-free experience.
Despite UpScrolled’s rapid rise and increased downloads, it remains uncertain if the platform can maintain this momentum or handle large-scale user engagement effectively. Source
