TikTok returns on Apple, Google US app stores as Trump delays ban Feb 13 (Reuters) - TikTok returned to the U.S. app stores of Apple and Google on Thursday as President Donald Trump delayed a ban on the Chinese-owned social media app and assured the tech giants they would not be fined for distributing or maintaining it. The popular short video app used by nearly half of all Americans went dark briefly last month, before a law took effect on January 19 that requires its Chinese owner ByteDance either to sell it on national security grounds or face a ban.The following day, Trump signed an executive order seeking to delay the enforcement of the ban by 75 days, allowing TikTok to continue its operations in the U.S. temporarily. Although TikTok resumed service after Trump's assurances, Google (GOOGL.O), opens new tab and Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab kept the app removed from their U.S. app stores. apple tiktok app store is tiktok back in the app store who bought tiktok tiktok back on app store is tiktok back on the app store tiktok app store tiktok back in app store tiktok back on apple store
