  • TikTok is once again available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
  • This reportedly comes after Apple and Google received assurances that a ban wouldn’t be immediately enforced.

Apple and Google pulled TikTok from their respective app stores last month, just before a federal ban on the app was due to come into effect. President Donald Trump gave the app a reprieve at the time, but the app still wasn’t available on the Play Store and App Store. Fortunately, there’s some good news for consumers.

Parent company Bytedance has announced that TikTok is back on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in the US. That means users don’t have to sideload the app if they don’t already have it on their phones.
