They are not the same company. Because Douqu and Douyin are two apps developed and operated by different companies. Douyin is developed by ByteDance, while Douqu is developed by Kuaishou. Although both are short video applications, they belong to different companies and have different brands and operation teams. The competition between Douyin and Kuaishou has always existed. Although both are constantly expanding their business areas, they focus on different user scenarios and markets. Douyin focuses on music, dance, food, and travel, targeting young groups; while Kuaishou focuses on entertainment, emotions, fashion, beauty and other content types, and is closely integrated with e-commerce, mainly targeting young users in the sinking market and second- and third-tier cities.
