TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The daily average of U.S. users deleting the TikTok app has increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

Some users took to social media to voice their skepticism about the new joint venture after being prompted to agree to an updated privacy policy on Thursday.

    I really hope Dansup is still putting in some work on Loops. This would really be a great time.

      As a loops user, I find it a decent alternative to TicToc. It just doesn’t have that much content on it as compared to TicToc.
