Australians made their mark on TikTok in 2022, both at home and on a global stage.
The social media platform has released its year in review, identifying top trends, topics and creators.
Lee Hunter, general manager, TikTok Australia and New Zealand: "2022 was a year like no other, and we are so proud of the Aussies on TikTok who have shared their talents, their laughs and their life hacks with us all this year.
"Creators are at the heart of TikTok, and we're so excited to be able to celebrate them in our Year on TikTok 2022 lists, wrapping up the moments that defined Australian culture this year.
"From businesses finding new ways to reach their audiences, to creators around the country connecting within their diverse and unique communities, it has been another unforgettable Year on TikTok."
