NOPE, TikTok isn’t just about dance, skits and hugots.
From funny, candid moments and entertainment, TikTok has eventually evolved into a platform where you could get some insightful contents.
In recent years, we’ve seen many industries storm their way to TikTok. Especially during the years of strict isolation, all information imperative to saving and improving lives were made available online especially on the content-sharing app.
Let’s get to do a rundown of some of the insightful things we can see on Tiktok.
- Medical advice
During the height of the pandemic, medical help was difficult to access. Hospitals were overwhelmed and medical staff were exhausted if not sick. And so to decongest hospitals as well as limit the infection, millions of doctors from all over the world made health advice and consultations available online especially on TikTok. Eventually, many of them made a second career of being social media influencers.
So yes, TikTok is overflowing with medical health tips that can indeed save lives and money.
Locally, influencers like Doc Alvin Francisco, Dr. Kilimanjaro Tiwaquen have established significant influences and are now certified social media superstars.
However, it would still be best to consult your doctor. Although medical contents in TikTok may provide insightful tips, it still cannot be an alternative to medical check up. Online consultation is available nowadays.
- Legal advice
Another industry that gained glory on TikTok is the legal profession. Just like doctors, lawyers too are paid per consultation and usually, most people are clueless about where to contact one or how much to pay for one should they need legal advice.

But thanks to TikTok, legal help is now widely available on the platform. From practical legal problems to lectures on law, the app offers extensive insightful content on all things legal.
- Love/life advice
While there may be a lot of squammy content about love and relationships on TikTok, there are some pretty helpful love gurus like Mama Jeng, Mike Balolong and so many others on the app who really lift your soul when you hear them and heed their advice.
- Daily reflections
There are also religious figures who found their way to TikTok and use the platform to reach the younger generation and share the word of God. One example is Fr. Fiel Pareja, a priest from the Archdiocese of San Fernando, Pampanga. Fr. Pareja, who now has 2.8 million followers in TikTok, provides daily Bible verses and reflections.
- News
Because digital is the new mainstream, news too is now on TikTok. Gone are the days when news was only seen on television and newspapers. As everything is now online, news companies harness the power of social media to spread their reports and one app they heavily rely on for quick virality is Tiktok.
- Lifestyle
TikTok has a hefty lifestyle content to offer. From fashion to fitness to luxury and everything else in between, TikTok has it all. In fact, so many fashionistas like Jeanette Ong and Krisha Wong made the app their runway and indeed made a career out of online styling.
- Manifestation
Thanks to TikTok, more and more people now know about the power of the mind and how your life can transform when you learn to harness the full potential of focus. Various mindset and manifestation coaches such as Vany Romero and Bryson Bonsol debuted on Tiktok to spread the word that anyone can live his best life intentionally.
- History
History has always been one hot topic of debate because misinformation and disinformation now more than ever abound online.
Good thing TikTok has opened doors to historians who have extensive knowledge and credibility about various events of the past like Xiao Chua and Francis Gealogo.
