TikTok calling my car from my number!

So I’m in my car BT connected. I open TikTok and play a video. My screen on my car goes into “phone call” mode but it’s MY phone number and the TikTok video sound starts playing through my car stereo via the phone call from my iPhone 12 Pro Max! How is this even happening??

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18

Sorry, you have no idea what you are talking about. It did not get removed by Apple for inappropriate content. The US Government passed a law requiring China to sell TikTok to a US company because they did not want the personal information that the app collects on each user being shared with the Chinese Government. The law was passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court and included a $5,000 fine for each violation on both Google and Apple for downloads. That is why it is not in the Google Play store either.


The deadline for TikTok to be sold to another company has been extended by 75 days, but the fines that the law put in place have NOT been repealed. That is why you can now only use a previously downloaded version of TikTok or access it on the web using Safari.


Hope you have a better understanding now. Apple did not make the law, but it must follow it.
