Apple Set to Restore TikTok on U.S. App Store

Apple plans to restore the TikTok app on its U.S. App Store following a directive by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. The app was removed despite an executive order by President Trump to delay its ban. The restoration occurs amid ongoing legal and governmental negotiations.

Apple is preparing to reinstate TikTok on its U.S. App Store this Thursday, following directives from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. This move is expected to resolve some of the uncertainties surrounding the app, which had been removed despite recent executive actions from the Trump administration.

The decision to bring TikTok back to the App Store comes after President Donald Trump issued an executive order last month, which aimed to delay the platform's ban by 75 days. The popular short-video app, owned by ByteDance, was previously set to be removed on January 19.

Despite the extension order, TikTok had remained inaccessible on both Apple and Google app stores in the United States. Apple did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for further comments as the situation continues to evolve.
