TikTok Will Be Banned From U.S. App Stores Beginning Sunday

Beginning Sunday, downloads of TikTok and WeChat, a popular Chinese messaging platform, will be banned on U.S. app stores.

TikTok allows users to create short, sharable videos with music and voiceovers, and it’s become an increasingly popular platform during quarantine. It became famous for dance challenges, and has exploded over the last year or so as more and more different types of content have gone viral.

Downloads of TikTok and WeChat in the app store will be banned beginning Sept. 20. Additionally, money transfers within the U.S. using WeChat will be banned beginning on the same date. The ban doesn’t appear to affect people who have already downloaded TikTok, though they won’t be able to update their apps. It also sounds as if users in the U.S. will continue to be able to post and view content on the app for now, but that could change at any time.
