The TikTok short videos service halted its operations in the US.

“A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the US. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now,” the notice indicates. The service is not displayed also in search results in the App Store.

The TikTok short videos creation and viewing service sent notices to its US users that the platform suspends its operations in that country because of the ban of US authorities.

A warning from the service appears when entering the app in the US. “We regret that a US law banning TikTok will take effect on January 19 and forces us to make our services temporarily unavailable,” TikTok said. “We’re working to restore our services in the US as soon as possible and we appreciate your support,” the service added.
