TikTok is revealing it attracts one billion global users per month.
The short-form video app has been growing steadily over the last few years, picking up major steam during the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S.
The company was averaging just over half a billion users in December of 2019.
The major growth comes after former President Trump threatened to ban TikTok, calling its data storage security a national security risk because of the app being owned by Chinese company Bytedance.
President Biden signed an executive order in the summer that sets a standard for the government when it comes to evaluating the risk of apps connected to countries like China.
