CapCut, a Video-Editing App From ByteDance, Returns for U.S. Users

The article discusses the temporary shutdown and subsequent return of the CapCut video editing app, following a federal law banning TikTok and other apps owned by ByteDance due to national security concerns. The law was initially set to take effect on January 19, but President-elect Trump's executive order has delayed its enforcement, allowing CapCut and TikTok to resume operations in the U.S. This situation has caused relief among content creators who rely on CapCut for video editing. The competitive landscape is also changing, as Instagram has launched a rival app called Edits.
