TikTok back on U.S. Apple store after ban delay

TikTok returned to Apple's App Store in the U.S. on February 13 after President Donald Trump delayed its ban until April 5, ensuring companies wouldn't be fined for maintaining the app.

The platform, with 170 million users in the U.S., began restoring its services weeks after briefly going dark in the country.

Last month, Trump signed an executive order postponing TikTok's ban for 75 days, allowing its parent company, China's ByteDance, to continue U.S. operations temporarily.

In 2024, TikTok was the second most downloaded app in the U.S., with over 52 million downloads, of which 52 percent came from Apple's App Store.
