On February 11 (the eve of 2021 Chinese New Year), the DAU of Douyin was 580 million. The total daily users of Douyin Speed Edition (a platform that helps users to save storage space on their smartphones) exceeded 84 million and Douyin Huoshan Edition (another short-video content platform) was 28 million on this date.
