Unable to reinstall TikTok app after deletion

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?".

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.

Bro how did ppl get tik tok after deleting it I now can’t get it back and it’s rly annoying how do I get it back

Bro, you don't. The fines placed on Apple and Google for allowing anyone to download the app in the App Store have NOT been overturned. Congress has not overturned it and the Supreme Court has not ruled whether an Executive Order can bypass those fines. So now you are left with any previous version that you may have on your device or using Safari to access it on the web, but no one is able to download/redownload the app from the App Store or the Google Play Store.

I deleted TikTok after all my friends said that TikTok is going to be banned. I looked at TikTok to see if it was real. It said that it was banned so I deleted it then people kept on saying that it got banned so I tried it again on the App Store, but it did not work. To anybody that I was trying to delete TikTok

They need to put it back on the app because I really want to download it again. They need to do it.

The law that fines Apple and Google for allowing any download has NOT been overturned. Have you been in contact with your congressman/congresswoman? They are the ones that passed the law and put those fines in place.

J'ai supprimé TikTok le jour où il a été banni parce que je pensais qu'il allait être banni pendant longtemps, jusqu'à ce que 12 heures plus tard, il fonctionne à nouveau et je ne pouvais pas le télécharger.

Si TikTok est utilisable et débloqué pour les utilisateurs qui ne l'ont pas supprimé ou sur les appareils qui l'ont encore, je pense qu'il devrait être remis en ligne dans les magasins d'applications.

Bien qu'il ait été interdit, il semblerait que le président Trump ait travaillé avec eux pour le récupérer, et depuis qu'il est de retour au pouvoir, j'ai l'impression que les utilisateurs devraient avoir la possibilité de le récupérer dans les magasins d'applications.

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

For what it's worth -- the only difference between "deleting" and "offloading" an app is the fact that offloading leaves behind the apps's user data, saved files and settings, so it's all still there when/if you redownload the app.

So, you did actually delete the app off your phone. Of course you did, because that's what freed up the space in your otherwise limited phone storage. If it wasn't deleting the app, where do you think that extra space was coming from?

I'll also say that offloading or deleting, on a daily basis, any of the apps I use, and then reacting this way when the strategu backfires, seems more insane to me.

If it makes you feel any better, I had my phone repaired and not once did they tell me wiping the phone would also take the app with it. It now sits in a folder with the iCloud download infinitely stuck next to it. Shoutout to the Genius Bar 😐

The app has been removed from the store and is no longer accessible even through internet browsers, google play also removed it as well. You won’t be able to get it back until they agree on a ban or not.

Ebay has some phones for sale with tik tok!

What a terrible suggestion! Let's just send users to a website where they can be scammed and eBay will not give them their money back when they find out the device they now own is a brick.

Hopefully you will be taking the responsibility and offer support for those users.

FYI - Anyone getting a new iPhone - So, my iPhone 13 Pros camera decided to stop working on 01/21. I had Tik Tok and everything was working just great. My carrier sent me a new iPhone 13 Pro, since my old one had obvious issues. Did the iPhone transfer 01/22. All my apps came back and the transfer was perfect, until my Tik Tok app decided to be FOREVER in the Black Widget “Waiting…” mode to this day, and honestly probably until they figure this out, if they ever do. Just an FYI for anyone who did have Tik Tok on their old phone, the app will NOT transfer over, even if you DID have it downloaded on your phone prior to the transfer to the new phone. All it will show is a black widget, the ghost of Tik Tok, forever in “Waiting…”.

Apps do not transfer from one phone to another. What transfers is the information about what apps you had on the old phone and which should be downloaded from the App Store to the new phone.

Apps are also not part of your backup or stored in iCloud.
