MX Taka Tak is the latest addition to the plethora of short video apps we have been seeing since the ban on TikTok. Taka Tak is made by MXP Media India formerly known as J2 Interactive. The developer is known for the popular Android media player app called MX Player.
With MX Taka Tak, the aim of the company is simple. It wants to provide a short video platform to newcomers as well as people who haven’t been using anything since TikTok left India. In its Play Store listing, the developer states, “MX TakaTak is a short video community, made locally and specially by MX Media & Entertainment in India. On MX TakaTak, we provide rich video content and encourage creation full of imagination.”
“MX TakaTak offers you real and fun videos that you can watch and share on social media. Browse all types of videos, ranging from Dialogue Dubbing, Comedy, Gaming, DIY, Food, Sports, Memes, and many more,” the description of the app further reads.
