TikTok reportedly developing new version of app ahead of planned US sale


TikTok is developing a new version of its app for U.S. users ahead of an expected sale of the app to a group of investors, according to a new report from The Information.

TikTok users in the U.S. would have to download the new app to continue to use the social network. The report comes two days after President Donald Trump said he would begin talking to China this week about a possible deal, stating that the government “pretty much” has a deal on the sale of the short-video app. TechCrunch Space Every Monday, gets you up to speed on the latest advances in aerospace.
