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

o unsubscribe from a thread:

  • Click the blue bell near the top of the page
  • Redraw the page, using the button in your browser (It’s to the right of the URL in Safari, near the top left edge in Firefox; it looks like a partial circle with an arrow)
  • If the button is blue again, repeat the process until the bell remains clear


You will need to do this once for every post you made in the thread. For example, if you made 3 posts, you will have to repeat this 3 times.


This is a forum bug that first appeared around 5 years ago, was fixed, and has recently returned.
