TikTok returns to Android and Apple app stores in the US

Published On Feb 13, 2025, 8:50 PM

TikTok is back available on US app stores after President Trump extended the enforcement of a ban until April 5. This extension allows TikTok to avoid an immediate ban while the administration seeks a compromise with the app's Chinese owner, ByteDance. The ongoing discussions around potentially selling the US operations of TikTok have garnered interest from various high-profile figures, including business magnates and celebrities.
