Tik Toks banned

With TikToks banned you can’t download the app but I never deleted the app so I don’t understand why I can’t use it as I mean like I offloaded the app like just taking it off my front screen and now it’s gone

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Offloading an app is not the same as removing it from the Home Screen. When you remove an app from the Home Screen, it's still on your phone; you just don't see it on the Home Screen. You need to go to the App Library and move it back to the Home Screen. When you offload an app, the app (but not it's data) is removed from your phone. To get it back, you need to download it again from the App Store. At present, if you're in the U.S., you cannot download TikTok from the App Store.
