Apple and Google removed TikTok from their app stores Saturday, complying with a law requiring China's ByteDance to divest the social app or see it face an effective ban in the U.S.

TikTok, the Chinese tech company, ByteDance-owned social media platform is no longer available in the United States. The application and the company that runs it have warned its users in the country that the application may no longer be available from Sunday after the US Congress passed legislation banning the application.

Experts have noted TikTok’s app should remain available for current users, but existing ones will no longer be able to update it, making it unusable in the long term.
