TikTok, CapCut, Lemon8, MARVEL SNAP, etc. will be suspended in the United States as the 'TikTok Ban Law' comes into effect
With the enforcement of the 'Protecting Americans from Applications Controlled by Foreign Adversaries Act,' commonly known as the 'TikTok Ban Act,' it has become clear that TikTok can no longer be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play in the United States. In addition to TikTok, ByteDance's video editing app 'CapCut,' a TikTok-like app 'Lemon8,' and the game app 'MARVEL SNAP' are also no longer available.

Based on the 'TikTok Ban Act,' downloads and updates of apps developed by the Chinese company ByteDance and its subsidiaries will be suspended on the US App Store and Google Play from January 19, 2025.

If you live in the United States, the app will not be forcibly deleted from your device, but if you delete the app, you will not be able to re-download it. Also, if you change your device, you will not be able to download it on a new device. You will not be able to use in-app purchases or new subscriptions. Also, even if the app is updated in other regions in the future, you will not be able to update the app in the United States.
If you are traveling to the United States, you will not be able to update or download the app, or use in-app purchases or subscriptions while you are in the United States. Once you leave the United States, all features will be available.
In response to the suspension of its service in the United States, TikTok displayed the message, 'We are fortunate that President Trump has shown his willingness to work with us on a solution to restore TikTok after he takes office. Please wait a while.' Donald Trump, who will take office as president on January 20, 2025, is scheduled to give the TikTok ban a 90-day grace period, but it is unclear whether the ByteDance app will be able to be restored immediately or in what form it will be restored.
