It hasn’t even been a full day since ByteDance shut down TikTok in the US, and now it says it’s coming back. In a statement posted on X Sunday afternoon, TikTok wrote, “In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service.” The statement also thanked Trump, who will be sworn in on Monday and previously said he was considering giving TikTok an extension (though ByteDance has expressed no interest in selling). “We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States,” TikTok said.
At the time of this writing, the TikTok app is once again up and running for me despite previously showing a message saying I “can’t use TikTok for now.” CapCut, however, one of the other apps affected by the ban, still isn’t available.
