A looming ban on TikTok set to take effect on Sunday presents a multibillion-dollar headache for app store operators Apple and Google.

If you’re waiting for TikTok to be available for download—or update—again, you may have to practice patience. Here’s why.

They are some of the biggest tech companies in the world, but how do Apple, Amazon, Google, and TikTok compare when it comes to data privacy?

With President-elect Trump adding uncertainty around whether a TikTok ban will go into effect, the focus is now turning to companies like Google and Apple, who are expected to take the popular video sharing app off their platforms in just two days.

The TikTok app is still not available in Google Play or Apple's App Store despite Trump's order halting the ban. Here's what's happening.

As for Apple’s unprecedented action, this was spotted by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in a post on X, who pointed out that Apple issued a support document about TikTok, titled “About availability of TikTok and ByteDance Ltd. Apps in the United States.”

Apple Inc. and Oracle Corp. have reacted differently to President Donald Trump's pledge that the US government won't enforce a national security law that raised potential penalties for US partners of the popular video app TikTok.

The latest turn in the ongoing saga over TikTok in the United States has brought the balance of power among the three branches of government into the spotlight.

Users with TikTok on their iPhone after Apple removed it from the app store should refrain from doing this major thing.

When TikTok went off the air (to use a very old-fashioned phrase), there was a scramble to find an alternative to its shortform video feed — and a similar scramble by various social networks to provide that alternative. (In fact, while I was writing this, Tumblr launched its new Tumblr TV feature.) The question is: how successful are they?

DeepSeek, the Chinese-owned ChatGPT rival, could pose the same national security concerns that Congress has about TikTok, Philip Elliott writes.

TikTok service is back online in the US, but the app is unavailable for download in the US - here's when it might return.
