The TikTok app is once again available for download through the iOS App Store and Android Play Store in the United States, after being removed from the store since January 19th.
Despite President Donald Trump issuing a 75-day delay in enforcing the ban, allowing the platform to be accessed as usual in America, both the App Store and Play Store chose not to bring back the app without citing reasons. It is speculated that this move is to prevent potential lawsuits in the future. Nonetheless, both platforms have finally made TikTok available for download once again.
In the next steps, the Trump administration is seeking a resolution regarding TikTok because the law is still in effect even with the delay in enforcement, including the possibility of selling the business in the United States.
