Apple removed all ByteDance apps from the App Store


TikTok and ByteDance Ltd. apps are no longer available in the United States, and visitors to the United States might have limited access to features.

Pursuant to the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, apps developed by ByteDance Ltd. and its subsidiaries — including TikTok, CapCut, Lemon8, and others — will no longer be available for download or updates on the App Store for users in the United States starting January 19, 2025. Users visiting from outside the United States with their Apple Account set to a country or region that is not the United States are unable to download, update, or make in-app purchases and new subscriptions inside ByteDance Ltd. apps while within the land or maritime borders of the United States. For any other questions about TikTok or other ByteDance Ltd. apps, contact the developer on the web.
