TikTok is building a U.S.-specific app ahead of sale, report claims


The company is planning to launch the new app in September.

A new report by The Information(via Reuters) says TikTok is working on a version of its app aimed solely for U.S. users. The popular Chinese social media app has been in trouble in the U.S. ever since the Biden administration banned it over concerns about security and potential data collection. None of this seems to have been finalized, as Trump himself said that China would have to approve of any TikTok deal, which could be more or less likely depending on the outcome of the two countries' tariff war.
