The app is currently available for only Android users and can be downloaded from Google Play Store. The iOS version of the app is yet to be rolled out. However, with the rising popularity, the app could soon be made available for Apple users as well. 

Things were so bad for TikTok that just a few days ago the app’s rating on the Play Store dropped to as low as 1.3 stars. This came after Indians started giving poor ratings to the app.

In these times, Mitron comes as an alternate to the Chinese app, with similar user interface. It lets users create short 15-second videos where they can create humorous content or even showcase their talent.
