Unable to reinstall TikTok app after deletion

Do you know what an Executive Order can and cannot do? Our country has 3 branches of Government each with their own checks and balances. Otherwise it would be a Dictatorship. Congress has NOT overturned the law and the Supreme Court has not ruled that an Executive Order can even eliminate the fines that the law puts in place on Google and Apple for allowing a user to download the app.

To help you understand, start here:

Still, any legal shield Trump promises by way of executive action will not hold up in court, Rozenshtein argues.

"This is not a power the president has, and he cannot wish it into existence merely by saying something and calling it an executive order," he said.

I think everyone in this thread was busy texting or sleeping in American History, Civics and Social Studies.

APPLE BRING BACK TIKTOK TO THE APPSTORE NOW🥲

Hello~ See my previous answer…

~Katana-San~

I deleted TikTok thinking it should restart for my phone but when I went back to the Apple Store the app was no longer available could you put the app back in the store for the ones who deleted to fix it ?

Tiktok uninstalled on my Ipad by itself and I'm disappointed because I can't get it back. Put it back on the app store since it's unbanned.

please for the love of everything bring it back. the people who deleted it thought it was gone for good. IM BEGGINGGGG PLEASEEEEE BRING JT BACK

Apple stop being jerks and let us redownload the app. If we can use the website then we should be able to use the app

Do you really have no idea what the law is that your Representative passed in Congress? The law placed $5,000 per violation fines on both Apple and Google for downloads of the app in their App Store. Even with the extension granted for TikTok, Congress has NOT overturned the law. The Supreme Court has also NOT ruled whether any Executive Order would be able to eliminate those fines. With that you are left with either using a previously downloaded version of TikTok or the website.

As usual it is best to be educate yourself on the details, before making statements where it showcases the lack of understanding. Hopefully that will help clear it up. If you are simply looking for someone to complain to, start with your Representatives in Congress that voted for the law. Do you know who they are and how they voted?

Why is Apple denying the use or download of Tictok

Because TikTok is now banned on the U.S. That they are still operating is the result of the former and current POTUS having decided not to enforce the law at this time. Meanwhile Apple and Google have both removed TikTok from their app stores in compliance with the law of the land. Learn by reading please.

Cannot download TikTok

so I deleted TikTok because I thought it would never exist anymore later to be fined someone un banded it and sadly it’s no longer on the App Store right now

not Apple’s fault. not available from Google either. companies like apple and google are wise to sit it out until the dust settles

As you were able to view an existing reply, and merely copy/paste it, it would seem you are able to view other responses. This would be an appropriate time to review some of the responses in this very thread.

if Android is letting people download it outside of google play, apple should do the same. #endrant

Blathering nonsense. Get your facts straight before spreading disinformation. And if an Android user manages to download the TikTok app from an unauthorized source or third party app store that copy is likely loaded with malware and keystroke recorders. The scammers are always looking to take advantage of user ignorance.

Ebay has some phones for sale with tik tok!

I would not be suggesting you buy those. The app and no doubt the phone will be tied to the previous user's Apple ID, and it may simply lock you out.

Also: Users in the United States won’t receive updates for these apps, which could potentially impact performance, security, and compatibility with future versions of iOS and iPadOS, and some app functions might become limited or stop working since the app can’t receive updates.
