Quick Summary:

TikTok could be banned in the US on Jan 19 under a law that forces it to divest itself from its China-based parent company ByteDance or shut down its American operations.

App store providers are explicitly barred from distributing TikTok to US users, which means that Apple and Google will remove the app from their stores and will no longer distribute updates to fix bugs.

Users could try to access a web-based version of TikTok via a browser while using a VPN, but the web version lacks many features of the app and - if the user has to create a new account - would not be as personalised to the user's preferences.
