Reports indicate that Apple and Google resumed TikTok downloads after receiving official assurances from the Trump administration. The administration indicated that it would not hold app stores responsible for allowing the app's availability at this time. Despite passing with bipartisan support in Congress and being endorsed by President Biden—who authorized a law demanding ByteDance to relinquish US operations due to national security concerns—China has rejected claims of espionage against TikTok.

Former President Trump had once pushed for a ban but later changed his stance, praising TikTok's popularity among users during his last campaign. Upon resuming service, TikTok sent a message to users acknowledging Trump's influence. Meanwhile, discussions around potential buyers of TikTok's US operations have gained momentum, with mentions of individuals like Larry Ellison and Elon Musk possibly being involved in a purchase. Additionally, popular YouTuber MrBeast has expressed interest, highlighting the competitive landscape surrounding TikTok's future.

As the situation evolves, the implications of Trump's executive orders and potential sales will continue to be closely scrutinized.
