After Attorney General Pam Bondi said she would not impose fines for hosting TikTok, Apple and Google have made the app available for download once again.
You can now download TikTok from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in the US. The app has returned to both stores nearly a month after a nationwide ban took effect on Jan. 19.
According to Bloomberg, Google and Apple restored the app after US Attorney General Pam Bondi issued letters assuring them they wouldn’t be fined for hosting it. Until now, both companies risked losing $5,000 per user in penalties.
Despite the AG’s assurance, Google plans to keep the app in its store only until President Trump’s 75-day extension on the ban runs out on April 5, Axios reports.
TikTok went dark briefly on the evening of Jan.
