TikTok’s app was removed from prominent app stores on Saturday just before a federal law that would have banned the popular social media platform was scheduled to go into effect

Analysts have suggested it is "just matter of time" until the US ban on TikTok spreads to allied countries and beyond - as long as the Trump administration presses ahead with it. The app will be banned in America from Sunday after US lawmakers ruled it was a national security risk because of owner ByteDance's ties to the Chinese government - ties it denies.
