In my opinion, you should first make it clear as to what type of app you would like to start. I understand if you put TikTok, Musically, and Dubsmash under one category but Snapchat is a completely different ball game altogether.
Finding similarities between Snapchat and TikTok may not yield much useful information. So let us consider the most popular app among the options provided and find out what it takes to start an app like TikTok.
How to Start an App like TikTok
1. Find the Problem
Every solution developed in life begins with a problem. To find an existing problem with TikTok that you can leverage to develop a solution and market your problem.
Based on recent news reports there is a data security concern with TikTok for most of the global countries as its parent company is based in China. In my opinion, this is the biggest problem that you could leverage to develop and market your app.
Instagram reels are gaining traction worldwide for the same solution as the company is based in the US and people generally feel their data is more secured.
2. List the potential ideas (solutions) to the problem
After finding, a problem that needs a solution, list out the potential ideas that could solve the problem. At first, do not think much about the quality of the problem as that we will decide in the next step. Just list out the potential solutions however scary or funny it may sound.
3. Evaluate the ideas
After listing out the ideas it is time to find the effectiveness, success probability, user acceptance, and development complexity. Decide on a solution that would be the best mix of all of the above points.
4. Share the idea with a professional developer
Share the idea with a developer to understand the complexity and needs to fulfill that solution. After getting clear guidance you can choose to hire an in-house team if you have the knowledge or you can choose to hire an experienced professional agency who has past experience in developing an app like TikTok.
5. Develop and Launch the Solution
Once you have hired a professional developer, most of your workload or headache related to the development would be managed by them. So take regular updates from the agency and track the progress to find out whether they are on track to achieve the goal on time.
Once the development is complete and you give a go-ahead for the launch, the development team would fulfill all the technical capabilities for the launch and then finally make your app live on the app stores of Android and iOS.
Hope the sequence helps you in starting the app for a new venture.
