Apple and Google removed TikTok from their app stores on Saturday, complying with a law that requires China's ByteDance to sell the social app or face a ban in the US.
TikTok's removal from Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store means people in the U.S. can no longer download the popular video app to their devices. The app's removal comes after the Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Friday to uphold the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary-Controlled Apps Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law in April. TikTok said on Friday that its service would be shut down, meaning it would cease to function for Americans unless the Biden administration intervened.
In Apple's App Store, a message saying "App Not Available" appears on the previous TikTok app installation page.
