A law passed by Congress in the United States banned TikTok due to concerns over Chinese ownership and data security risks.
To avoid the ban, TikTok is allegedly working on a new U.S.-specific version of the app to be sold to U.S. investors, satisfying the legislation's requirements.
Existing TikTok app may be removed from U.S. App Store with users encouraged to migrate to the new U.S.-based app.
The situation is still developing, and it's uncertain when the sale and transition to the new app will take place, amid ongoing political controversy.
