‘Duniya Ne Thukraya, Tune Apnaya’, Says Desi TikTokers After Insta Launches ‘Reels’

A few days back, the Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok which had a large userbase in our country. The decision was made amidst the escalating tension between the two countries in Ladakh.

To fill the void that TikTok has created in the lives of desi users, Instagram has launched ‘Reels’ with which users can create quirky and funny 15-second videos, very similar to that of TikTok, reports News18.

However, Instagram’s new feature has started a war of memes online! While former desi TikTokers are calling Instagram ‘Bhagwaan’, original IG users aren’t very pleased! Here’s how both parties are reacting to this event:
