TikTok and ByteDance Apps Pulled from US App Store

2025-01-19

Following the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, apps developed by ByteDance Ltd. and its subsidiaries, including TikTok, CapCut, and others, will be unavailable for download or updates on the US App Store starting January 19, 2025. Existing users can continue using installed apps, but re-downloads and restoration after device changes are impossible. In-app purchases and new subscriptions will also cease. This could impact app performance, security, and compatibility with future iOS and iPadOS versions.
