Unable to reinstall TikTok app after deletion

how do I get the app back? I’ve tried everything. I tried all the hacks. I’ve done everything that everybody saying to do on TikTok and it’s not working how to get TikTok back and I need it back because I’m about to start crying and I really want it back

It is very simple, you don't. Apple did not remove the app from your device, so why did you delete it in the first place? It must not have been a concern at that time. There are no hacks that are going to help and as you have found out, TikTok is not a source of accurate information, which is why those have failed. It did increase their views and promoted their post, which is actually what they were attempting to do. Be careful with anything that someone tells you to do, as you would likely fall victim of a phishing attack. They can completely lock you out of your device if you inadvertently provide you Apple ID/Password while thinking you are going to get the app back.

I deleted TikTok once I heard that it would be banned because I thought it would be it then it was announced that TikTok had been UN-banned so I went to the App Store and I couldn’t find the app to put TikTok back in the App Store for the people who deleted it since it is now unbanned

Please give us back TikTok i just want TikTok back in the App Store

No one participating in this forum can put TikTok back in the App Store. The only way it's coming back to the U.S. App Store is if Byte Dance divests itself of any Chinese investment or if Congress repeals the current law.

same I feel like if we didnt delete it just offloaded it we should be able to reinstall the version thats already on our phone

The only way it would be offloaded is it you had turned on Optimized Storage. The purpose of that is to offload apps when storage space becomes constrained or for apps that are not used frequently. It is not Apple that offloaded TikTok, it would have been you that told your device to do that. It would have happened whether the app had been removed from the App Store or not.

Hello~ Apple is not here …so the only people that you’re calling jerks are your fellow forum members who volunteer here each day and do our very best to help you…now somehow that seems unfair. As a side note Apple isn’t being jerks either…just following the law. Scroll up to the top and read the “Did you know”?…it explains.

I just got an insurance replacement phone, and after backing all my stuff into the cloud, and redownloading it on my new phone. It decided to not save all of my passwords, along as my tictok app. Now whenever I try and open tictok, it Telles me that it's not available. While I didn't make the mistake of uninstalling tictok, I still have to face the penalties.

I deleted Tik Tok once it was canceled, thinking it was some failure, I deleted it and wanted to install it again, but when I looked for it in the App Store, it was no longer available in the region and I can no longer install it again.

i need help to reinstall Tik Tok.

It is not possible. All you can do is use the web version for now. Nobody knows even how long that will last, as the law has NOT been overturned and TikTok must be sold to a US company in order to operate in the US.

I deleted my tiktok it i never received it back.

Of course you will not get it back. The only thing that is surprising is after reading the posts here, you would still not understand why that is the case. Start on page 1 and you will have a better understanding. Unfortunately you will also have to skip through the posts from other users who have not read anything either. You can also look on the top of the page in the section titled "Did you know?".

You cannot. All you can do is use the web version. That should have been clear from the posts here.

I just deleted the tik tok app because everyone’s started working again and was going to redownload it and it won’t show up on the Apple Store to redownload even though I have a tik tok account

I am surprised you do not know the reason why after reading the posts here. Start on page 1, there really is no need to explain it again. There is even a section on the top of this page titled "Did you know?".

Can you send the link?

Would you really follow a link that someone sent you?

You do realize, once you enter your Apple ID/Password after following a link, the scammer can instantly lock you out of your device. They will mark your phone as Lost, and then there would be no way for you to use your phone again. That is a very common scam and they will demand money from you, but you have no guarantee they will remove any lock on your phone and most likely they won't even bother after getting your money.
