India and China are in the middle of border tensions. In a new move, the Indian government has banned 59 Chinese apps in the country. Users of both Apple devices and Google powered devices will not be able download these 59 apps.
The popular TikTok app is not to be found on iOS’ App Store anymore in India. It was previously reported by some tech blogs that users who had already installed the TikTok will be able to continue to use it but this does not appear to be the case. The TikTok app when opened now shows a message explaining the current situation.
Dear Users,
On June 29, 2020 the Govt. of India decided to block 59 apps, including TikTok. We are in the process of complying with the Government of India’s directive and also working with the government to better understand the issue and explore a course of action.
