Overview
TikTok has been reinstated in the Apple App Store and Google Play in the U.S. after President Trump signed an executive order delaying the enforcement of a divestment law. The popular app, with over 170 million American users, was removed for nearly a month while ByteDance, its Chinese parent company, sought a buyer. Following assurances from the Justice Department, both Apple and Google restored TikTok after legal uncertainties arose from national security concerns regarding its Chinese ownership. The future of TikTok remains precarious, facing potential divestment or ban as new developments unfold.
