Unable to reinstall TikTok app after deletion

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 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

The law that banned TikTok also banned App Stores (both Google and Apple) from making the app available. The temporary suspension of the ban did not suspend the requirement in the law against providing the app.

And what site did you go to and what apps are required to make sure it works 100%

You should know better than believing you could go to a website and download an app on your iPhone. That person was simply trolling you. That is also why you do not have to worry about downloading viruses from nefarious websites and installing them on your phone. Be careful, as that would make you a perfect target for a phishing attempt, and you would have much bigger problems if they were able to get your password. They could easily lock you out of your own device.

I need my TikTok back I mistake deleted my app I want reinstall TikTok please

All you can do now is use the web version of TikTok. Congress has NOT removed the fines imposed on Apple and Google if they allow the app to be distributed in the App Store. And the Supreme Court has not ruled on whether an Executive Order can eliminate those fines.


Also, check out the "Did you know?" section on the top of this page.

How do you download TikTok and give a TikTok back?

After reading the posts here, you still don't have the answer to that question? That would be surprising, but if you do not want to bother doing that, refer to the section on the top of this page titled "Did you know?".


It might be fun to start on page 1 here to read the posts, it would be entertaining and informative at the same time.

Hello~ Please take a moment to read this thread. You will need to wait. Apple’s stance…

The TikTok app is not currently available in the App Store and we can’t speculate on the return. You are speaking to other forum members and we can’t rectify this situation.
