It is not a problem for Apple to resolve. They are doing exactly what they are supposed to do.

  • Have you contacted your Congressional Representatives that passed the law?
  • Do you know how they voted?
  • Have you persuaded ByteDance to sell to a US company to comply with the law?


Apple does not make the laws, but they to do have follow them. The law places fines on both Google and Apple for allowing anyone to download or redownload the app. All that is left for you to do is access TikTok on the web using Safari. Even for that, the days are numbered for TikTok if it is not sold to a US company and you are now down to about 61 days left.

hey apple! I have a FEW words to say..
you should most definitely make tik tok an app apple users can download once again after being deleted. you will get so much more phone use from everyone wanting to watch tik tok, so therefore you’ll make MORE money which will do you more good. Please for the love of all things, LET ME RE DOWNLOAD TIK TOKKKKKI NEED IT . I FEIN FOR IT…

A couple of points you may not be aware of:

  • Apple did not make the law that placed fines on them for allowing anyone to download or redownload the app.
  • Apple makes ZERO money from a download of the app
  • Apple makes ZERO money from any ads that TikTok displays
  • It is your Congressional Representatives that passed the law placing the fines on Apple and Google and it is the Supreme Court that upheld the law.
  • All Apple can do is follow the law, they don't have a choice.
  • The same law also affects the Google Play Store too, so no one will be able to download it there either on an Android phone..


So now for what you can do:

  • Access TikTok on the web for now. Not sure how much longer that will last. It depends on if ByteDance divests to a US company. Currently that has not happened and there is no guarantee it will.
  • Contact your Congressional Representatives. Do you know who they are and how they voted?

I had a tic tok account got a new phone and it did not get transferred over please help
thank you

There is nothing you can do. Apps are not transferred to a new phone like files or photos, it is only the link to the app that will be downloaded from the App Store on your new phone after it is set up. Clearly if the app is not available in the App Store, you will not see it downloaded on your new device.


You will need to wait like the others to see if the fines placed on both Apple and Google are lifted. ByteDance still must be sold to a US company. That has not happened yet, and there is no guarantee that it will. The days are numbered for that to happen, but for now you can access TikTok on the web using Safari. There is something like 61 days left.

Correct. If you are in the US, you will not be able to te-download the app, pending ownership changes at ByteDance, or changes to US law.


ByteDance and its apps including TikTok remain banned in the US, and with “ruinous” fines for violations.

You want the TikTok app back.


Apple needs to comply with U.S. law, which prohibits them from distributing, maintaining, or updating that app. That's why it is not in the U.S. App Store, and why if you did still have it, it wouldn't get any updates and would refuse to let you make any in-app purchases.


Google also must obey U.S. law, which is why you can't get the Android version of the app from the U.S. Google Play Store, either.

I’m sorry guys, if you delete TikTok accidentally, on purpose, you can’t download nor update TikTok and other Bytedance apps like CapCut, Donald Trump passed a law banning TikTok and other apps until ByteDance, the owner of TikTok and CapCut, sells the apps to a American company in 90 days. The reason Donald Trump banned TikTok is because TikTok is owned by a Chinese company called ByteDance, and with the power of TikTok, China would attack the United States of America, but still, TikTok is available in other countries or regions outside of the United States of America. This means that TikTok and ByteDance Ltd apps will be disabled in App Store and Play Store.


Apps affected due to Donald Trump banning TikTok and Other ByteDance Ltd Apps :


  • TikTok
  • TikTok Studio
  • TikTok Shop Seller Center
  • CapCut
  • Lemon8
  • Hypic
  • Lark - Team Collaboration
  • Lark - Rooms Display
  • Lark Rooms Controller
  • Gauth: AI Study Companion


But if you did not delete TikTok or this apps, they will still remain on your device but you can not download or update these apps when you move to a new device, but remember, if you delete TikTok, you can never get it back never again. I hoped this helped a lot to you why you can’t get TikTok back.

Nor will you, until ByteDance complies with the divestiture requirements of the PAFACA act, or the law itself is rescinded.


The US Supreme Court has upheld the act.


A majority of legislative representatives voted for this act including the TikTok app download ban, and with its “ruinous” fines for violations, and the act was then signed into law.


Unhappy about that? Contact your elected representatives.

Yes how can get TikTok app back again


Move out of the United States and its territories, and into a location where ByteDance is not restricted or banned. Or convince ByteDance to comply with the law, or convince congress and the president to repeal it.
