TOApple and Google have reinstated TikTok in their app store catalogs in the United States . Both the App Store and Play Store removed the Chinese app on Saturday, January 18, hours before the law aimed at banning TikTok in the country went into effect.
Despite the fact that the deadline for enforcing phone number library law against TikTok was ultimately postponed for 75 days, the social network has not returned to app stores until almost a month after its removal .
Other apps owned by ByteDance , TikTok's parent company, that had also been removed to comply with the law have been restored to app stores. This is the case with CapCut and Lemon8 .
