    My understanding is comparing app to app, the TikTok app is much more aggressive in it’s data collection. This was based on a cursory read of a reddit post by a user who did a deep dive comparing them, however I cannot find the source again, so take it as you will. If I do happen to find the post, I’ll link it here.

      According to this researcher, TikTok does not collect any more data than any other social app. Unlike the reddit post, this one contains some proof of what they collect and how to reproduce the results yourself.
