It is 100% illegal for Apple to distribute the App. No one here knows if or when this might change.
In the meantime, feel free to indulge your TikTok addiction by accessing the website using a browser of your choice.

Exactly! I am sure they could find other ways to send their personal information directly to China without using the app.

And they'll be turned into pumpkins at midnight. Simply unbelievable. There is no social media app that is that important to my life.
Wait until it is restored to the App Store.
You'll just have to wait until it is restored to the App Store. These things aren't instantaneous.
It is not only the App Store, but also the Google Play Store and you clearly know why. When it would return is purely speculative and not allowed here.

My favorite? It appears none of the users panicking about their lack of TikTok access have ever before in their lives heard of a web browser.
You can get to TikTok now - right now - by using a browser. No one NEEDS an app to get there.
