Cyclically, every year, there comes a time when TikTok returns to the spotlight. Following a series of disagreements with the U.S. government, during the third weekend of January, the platform was banned on U.S. soil. Those who owned the application on their phones received a message stating that the service was currently unavailable.

The ban of this platform within the nation then required iPhone and Android app stores to directly remove the application from their service. Although TikTok became available for use again after a few hours, twelve to be exact, the platform did not appear in the app stores again.

A month later, finally, the two services involved reintroduced the application, thus allowing all those who had not previously downloaded TikTok to be able to retrieve it without having to delve into the world of APKs and IPAs.
