No need to be confused. Currently the law that imposes fines on Google, Apple, and Microsoft has NOT been overturned. It has not been done by Congress and the Supreme Court has not ruled that an Executive Order can eliminate those fines.


The fines on those companies are only for new downloads in their App Stores, so you can continue to use a previously downloaded app or access TikTok on the web using Safari. There has been no permanent solution, so the future of TikTok is still in limbo.

That is super dumb don’t they know a lot of its users are on IOS (IPhone, IPad) like come on, wait if the app was accidentally removed from their phone or iPad due to a device malfunction.

Did you have a discussion with your Congressional Representatives that passed the law? Apple did not make the law. All Apple can do is follow the law no matter how many users want to download the app or for whatever reason. Congress provided no exceptions for both Apple and Google. That is the reason why it is not in the Google Play Store either.
