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

give us tiktok back, if it’s un banned then why not put it back in the appstore

The law has not changed. No how many little cartoon faces you put in your post, Apple isn't going to risk having to pay a $5000 fine so you can have TikTok. You can access TikTok through a web browser.

This either will be resolved or not but it is not worth being upset over. Hang in there.

I deleted TikTok after it was banned and on the Apple Store it says it’s unable to connect in this region and a lot of other people deleted it after it was banned and we really want it back and nobody knew if you deleted it you couldn’t get it back so that’s not fair to us who deleted it And we didn’t know we couldn’t get it back after it was deleted on the Apple Store,so that’s not fair

You would have known if you read the news as the TikTok ban situation was all over it. We knew it was coming.


Please read my User Tip which explains the TikTok ban situation:
