    Instagram gives data to Facebook and totalitarian monitoring under Trumps influence. It depends on your personal circumstances whether you prefer to be monitored by US secret services or by the Chinese government. If you are currently politically active in the USA, then TikTok through a VPN or Tor is probably the most sensible solution. Also, the video function on Instagram is more of a copy of TikTok and not as sophisticated.

    Instagram is focused more on multimedia in general, while TikTok is exclusively focused on videos.

    Because the "discover" page on snapchat is getting more and more popular and advanced so maybe soon everyone will be able to have a public profile and then it would be exactly just like tiktok, but so far only some chosen people can have public profiles.
