If you’re waiting for TikTok to be available for download—or update—again, you may have to practice patience. Here’s why.

A looming ban on TikTok set to take effect on Sunday presents a multibillion-dollar headache for app store operators Apple and Google.

The latest turn in the ongoing saga over TikTok in the United States has brought the balance of power among the three branches of government into the spotlight.

As for Apple’s unprecedented action, this was spotted by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in a post on X, who pointed out that Apple issued a support document about TikTok, titled “About availability of TikTok and ByteDance Ltd. Apps in the United States.”

They are some of the biggest tech companies in the world, but how do Apple, Amazon, Google, and TikTok compare when it comes to data privacy?

With President-elect Trump adding uncertainty around whether a TikTok ban will go into effect, the focus is now turning to companies like Google and Apple.

Users with TikTok on their iPhone after Apple removed it from the app store should refrain from doing this major thing.

When TikTok went off the air (to use a very old-fashioned phrase), there was a scramble to find an alternative to its shortform video feed — and a similar scramble by various social networks to provide that alternative. (In fact, while I was writing this, Tumblr launched its new Tumblr TV feature.) The question is: how successful are they?

Apple and Google removed TikTok from their app stores Saturday, complying with a law requiring China's ByteDance to divest the social app or see it face an effective ban in the U.S.

ByteDance restored TikTok service in the United States on Sunday night, but major tech companies like Apple and Google have yet to restore downloads of the app. With no way to update TikTok, app rot may soon set in.

DeepSeek, the Chinese-owned ChatGPT rival, could pose the same national security concerns that Congress has about TikTok, Philip Elliott writes.

TikTok service is back online in the US, but the app is unavailable for download in the US - here's when it might return.
