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

Speculation is not supported here in these forums. So no….have no idea when or whether it will be returned to the App Store. Patience will be required and we are not Apple but fellow forum members like yourself. There are now 51 pages with answers sprinkled in…kinda like a scavenger hunt.

The next day I woke up and everybody had said TikTok is back on the phone and I said oh my God I have deleted TikTok. I want TikTok back on my phone because it’s so hard to download it and I don’t even know my password no more to change my country so what do I need to do?

In the meantime, what you can do is read my User Tip which fully explains the TikTok ban situation to familiarize yourself with it: Understanding the TikTok Ban and Why You Cannot Download It

Do you live in the U.S.? If so, you can't download it.

Reading just one of the other 62 pages in this thread would have given you that information at least twice.
