So there's 抖音 and TikTok. They have completely seperate databases and installers (unlike WeChat). On IOS, if you are geolocated (or maybe it's locale restricted?) in the Chinese market then you can only download 抖音。If you are located in the international regions, then you will only find TikTok.
Since there is no Google Play Store in China, you will only find TikTok there [in the Play Store]. To install 抖音 you simply download the apk from their website and side-load it.
Since the article states
> TikTok has hit 1.5 billion total downloads across the App Store and Google Play
I believe that IOS has around 13% market share in China. So this is missing out on A LOT of downloads.
Then again it's hard to believe that there are 1.5 billion downloads for tiktok (ios + android) and 抖音(just ios).
Then that must mean that it's not counting 抖音 downloads on Android.
