ByteDance's apps, including TikTok, CapCut, and Lemon8, became unavailable in the U.S. on January 18, ahead of a federal ban on TikTok. The app was also removed from Apple and Google stores, disrupting access for millions of users and affecting small businesses reliant on the platform. President-elect Donald Trump indicated he might grant a 90-day extension to address the ban after taking office, as noted in a message to users. The situation follows legal battles over concerns regarding data privacy and national security due to TikTok's Chinese ownership.
