The author of this research analyzed the theory of �use and satisfaction� and found that Petra Christian University students have different needs and motivations when using TikTok, if they play different roles, and their needs will gradually change. The purpose of this research is to understand the motivation, continuous use behaviors and needs of the students of Petra Christian University to use TikTok, and to help TikTok increase its popularity in Indonesia through the analysis of user needs, and to help TikTok�s development in Indonesia.
