Android users can once again download TikTok. What to know following halted nationwide ban on app

TikTok resumed its services for Android users in the United States on January 19 after a nationwide ban due to national security concerns regarding its parent company, ByteDance. The Supreme Court upheld a law requiring ByteDance to divest its U.S. operations, leading to the app's temporary shutdown. TikTok expressed gratitude towards President Trump for clarifying the situation, allowing the app to be available for over 170 million American users. Users can now download TikTok directly from its website as Android Package Kits (APKs). However, the app remains unavailable on the App Store due to a law mandating ByteDance to sell its U.S. assets. Trump has hinted at the possibility of purchasing TikTok as part of a new sovereign wealth fund. TikTok Lite offers a streamlined version of the app without certain features. Users are advised to download TikTok only from its official website for safety.

TikTok Offers Workaround for Android Users To Download the App

TikTok has created Android download kits for TikTok and TikTok Lite to allow users to access the platform despite its absence from US app stores. Users can download the app by visiting TikTok.com/Download, enabling sideloading, which is the installation of apps from outside official app stores. Certain features, like Live streaming and TikTok Shop, are not available. TikTok has not returned to Google Play or the Apple App Store since its removal on January 19 and is implementing security measures for its Android Package Kits. Political concerns about TikTok's ties to China have led to discussions about a potential ban and interest from various figures in acquiring the platform.
