TikTok is back in Apple and Google’s app stores. Apologies to anyone who planned to live large by selling their old TikTok-installed phone on eBay for $10k: Everyone’s favorite Chinese shortform video app and its siblings CapCut and Lemon8 are available for download again in Apple and Google’s US mobile app stores. The tech giants brought the ByteDance apps back on Thursday night after receiving assurances from US Attorney General Pam Bondi that the nationwide ban on TikTok wouldn’t be immediately enforced—meaning they won’t get hit with fines. Though President Trump halted the enforcement shortly after taking office, the ban still stands, and could kick in later if TikTok isn’t sold to an American company.
