TikTok has been made available for US users again, just hours after it was shut down by a Supreme Court ruling.The social media platform ceased operating in the country on Saturday (January 18) after the court set a deadline for Sunday for the site to be sold to American owners or address the national security concerns identified by Congress.“Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now.

A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now,” was the message seen by users of the app after the shutdown.“We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office.

Please stay tuned!”The President Elect later said that he would “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day delay to its ban after his inauguration on Monday (January 20), saying it would be the “appropriate” action to take.STATEMENT FROM TIKTOK:In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service.
