I need to download TikTok

Now you guys say the US government bandit but why did the president say that he reestablish tik-tok

For that, it would require an understanding on how Government works, but I can offer a little insight to get your started.

• We have 3 branches of Government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) each with their own checks and balances. A President can say what they want, but that is not the law of the land as that would mean we live in a Dictatorship, not a Democracy.
• The president issued an Executive Order to allow an extension of 75 days for China to divest to an American company.
• Congress has NOT repealed the law that placed fines on both Google and Apple for allowing anyone to download the app.
• The Supreme Court has not even ruled that a President could remove those fines.

So with that you are left with being able to access TikTok on the web for about another 65 days unless there is any movement in China divesting TikTok. A previously downloaded app is not affected by the fines, so that is why those would continue to work, only if you have one. Since the fines are still in place for downloading the app from either the App Store or the Google Play Store, you will not be able to do that.

TikTok has been banned by the US. government and therefore it will not be available in the US. until the ban has been lifted.

Tik Tok is indeed banned. You cannot download the app.

You will be fine. I recommend taking this time to read how government works. You will have a better understanding of how laws are passed in this county and how they are enforced. This is directly relevant to why you are unable to download TikTok. Also reach out to your Congressional Represenatives to see how they voted and feel free to share your concerns with them.

I had TikTok, and somehow the phone took it off when it was already download it, so I was a little stern by the fact that I had so much to my TikTok page that now I can’t even get on let alone find the app. Now you guys say the US government bandit but why did the president say that he reestablish tik-tok how could something be banned but still being used by Americans that would be discriminating against people who want it back that obviously don’t have it back like me and for instants I had it still on my phone and every time I want to click it it wanted to load I did it twice and then it erased itself when I already had it on my home screen where as in I just re-download it it and it was fine until the actual day. It was Band and I wasn’t able to go back to my page after I downloaded it, so I don’t know what happened.

You can complain as much as you want. It won't change anything.

You can, however, access TikTok through a web browser.

I NEED TIKTOK BACK

• Have you talked to your Congressional Representatives?
• Do you know who they are?
• Do you know how they voted?

Apple can only follow the law that Congress passed and the Supreme Court upheld. There is nothing Apple can do about that. Nobody even knows if it will ever come back. We can only wait and see if ByteDance decides to divest to a US Company.
