Despite President Donald Trump's executive order on Monday to temporarily lift the federal ban on TikTok for 75 days, Apple and Google have not yet reinstated the app on their platforms. As a result, users are still unable to download or update TikTok. If users search for TikTok on the App Store, they see a message saying, ‘TikTok and other ByteDance apps are not available in the country or region you’re in,’ while Google Play says, ‘Downloads for this app are paused due to current US legal requirements.’ It remains uncertain when, or even if, Apple and Google will bring TikTok back to their app stores, as the companies seem to be waiting for clearer legal protections or further guidance from the Trump administration. Some of TikTok users are resorting to extreme measures, like buying secondhand devices with the app already installed, with prices reaching up to $50,000 on eBay. #news #tiktok #capcut #bytedance #trump #socialmedia #apple #google
