TikTok is unbanned but I still can’t even get it back in my App Store

Last night I deleted TikTok and got it back however, this morning I woke up to find it was deleted again and would not pop up in my App Store. TikTok has since been unbanned and still will not let me download.

iPhone 15, iOS 18

It is illegal for Apple or Google to allow you to download or redownload the app. The fines placed on both Apple and Google do not apply to previous downloads, only current ones. Apple is simply following the law that was passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court. To be fair, it is not available on the Google Play store either.


For now, that just leaves you with accessing TikTok on the web using Safari. The days are counting down for ByteDance to divest to a US company even for that and there are about 63 days left. Currently that has not happened and there is no guarantee it will.
