Shorts, YouTube's proposal to fight with TikTok
YouTube is preparing to launch Shorts, a new feature that aims to compete with TikTok, that is, to fully enter the short video market. This new option will be integrated into the YouTube app for iOS and Android, where it will be possible to create or view short videos.

However, everything will depend on the characteristics that its rivals can offer and how TikTok manages to retain its users through new functions or the improvement of existing characteristics within the well-known social network.
