    Youtube shorts, a Tiktok-Like short video app, was launched in India last year after the ban of the latter in the country. When launched, anyone could view the shorts in the Youtube app, but only the creators living in selected countries were able to use this feature to create short videos and upload them on the platform. But as the Youtube shorts gained popularity and few other alternatives started coming into the market, the platform is now expanding its beta version Worldwide for more than 100 countries.

    In April, the platform announced that it continues to gain popularity with over 6.5 billion daily views as of March, up from 3.5 billion at the end of 2020.
