I have accidentally deleted my TikTok app please Apple resolve the problem

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.

TikTok and other ByteDance apps is no longer available in the United States. Apple and Google are legally obligated to remove them from app stores under the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. The law prohibits app stores and internet hosting services from hosting, maintaining, updating, or offering foreign adversaries in the U.S.


This means you can no longer download TikTok and any apps owned or associated with ByteDance.

I’d like to reinstall my tiktok back it helped with a lot of stuff and I was working on a lot of stuff I’d wish for it to be back if possible

Congress disagrees with you and passed a law that put fines on both Google and Apple for allowing any downloads of the app. Both Apple and Google can only follow the law. Have you been in contact with your Congressional Representatives?


Even the Supreme Court upheld the law passed by Congress.

Bro do u know how to solve this issue

Bro, according to the law passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court, the solution is for TikTok to divest to a US company. That has not happened and there is no guarantee it will. Currently there are about 62 left, so we shall see. If you have any more questions about the law, feel free to contact your Congressional Representatives that placed the fines on both Google and Apple for allowing any downloads of the app.

Can you guys please bring tiktok back inside the app store? Because i have 728.83m followers and 1.68B likes


You are not speaking to Apple.


At the moment, it is illegal for Apple to bring TikTok back to the U.S. App Store or for Google to bring TikTok back to the U.S. Google Play Store. Congress considers the Chinese Government's current level of control over TikTok to pose a potential national security risk – and their concern is now reflected in U.S. law. (A law that survived the scrutiny of the U.S. Supreme Court, at that.)


If Apple and Google broke the law, and were fined as much as $850 billion USD ($5000 for each of the 170 million U.S. TikTok users) – are you going to pay the whole $850 billion USD dollar fine, personally? Thought not.
