The deadline for ByteDance to sell the app is just days away. A new report suggests that Washington residents are concerned about the ban.

Users in the U.S. who opened the app were greeted with a message that read, "Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now."

TikTok stopped working in the United States late on Saturday and disappeared from Apple and Google app stores ahead of a law that takes effect on Sunday requiring the shutdown of the platform used by 170 million Americans.

App executives had discussed taking the platform offline on Sunday to highlight the impact of the restriction, but the plans had not been final.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden won’t enforce a ban on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect a day before he leaves office on Monday, a U.S. official said Thursday, leaving its fate in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump.

Users were unable to access TikTok Saturday, instead seeing a pop-up message on their screens saying "a law banning TikTok has been enacted."

The company announced the shutdown in a pop-up message on the app that only allows users to "learn more" about the federal law or close the app.

The majority of the American population has been waiting for Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony on the 20th of January 2025. The post Publicly Supporting TikTok Ban, Conor McGregor Backs “Exceptional” Donald Trump Again in Washington DC appeared first on EssentiallySports.

The app’s availability in the U.S. has been thrown into jeopardy over data privacy and national security concerns.

If it feels like TikTok has been around forever, that’s probably because it has, at least if you’re measuring via internet time.

TikTok said it will have to "go dark" this weekend unless the outgoing Biden administration assures the company it won't enforce a shutdown of the popular app after the Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld the federal law banning the app unless it's sold by its China-based parent company.

For now, TikTok’s ability to operate stateside hangs in the balance after the Supreme Court upheld the law demanding that TikTok divest from its Chinese owner or face a ban.
