TikTok has returned to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in the U.S. after recent government interventions. Following President Trump's decision to delay a ban on the app, companies associated with app stores are reassured they won’t face penalties for distributing it. The Biden administration initially mandated TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to divest its U.S. operations or face consequences. Trump's comments suggest the timeline for the ban could be further extended beyond the current deadline, highlighting ongoing tensions between U.S. policies and the app's Chinese ownership.
The Biden administration had required TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved buyer for its US operations or face a ban by January 19.
The Trump administration has reportedly assured companies responsible for app stores that they would not be fined for distributing or maintaining the Chinese app.
