TikTok App Removed from U.S. App Stores by Apple and Google Before January 18 Federal Ban Takes Effect
Jan 19, 2025, 04:43 AM
TikTok's app was removed from major app stores in the United States on January 18, 2025, just before a federal law banning the platform went into effect. This action was taken by Apple and Google in compliance with the law, which required China's ByteDance to divest from the social media app or face a ban in the U.S. The removal of TikTok from the app stores reflects ongoing regulatory pressures on the platform amid national security concerns.
