The White House said on Friday that Tiktok should remain available to Americans but the timing of the Supreme Court ruling on a law banning the app means it must fall to the Trump administration.

In a major reversal, the White House says it won't implement a law that required the Chinese parent company of TikTok to sell the hugely popular video app or face a ban, according to two administration officials.

The law gives the president the option to extend the ban by 90 days, but triggering the extension requires evidence that parties working on purchasing have made significant progress, including binding legal agreements for such a deal — and TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, hasn’t publicly updated its stance that the app is not for sale.

The president-elect rallied with supporters in Washington, previewing executive orders he plans to sign on Day 1 and dancing with the Village People.

By now you've almost certainly heard that TikTok could be about to get banned in the US this coming Sunday, January 19. The latest update today is that the social platform will "go dark" amid uncertainty around what the White House will actually decide to do.

"TikTok and ByteDance Ltd. apps are no longer available in the United States, and visitors to the United States might have limited access to features," Apple said.

TikTok said it will be forced to go dark on January 19, the day the ban is set to take effect, without more assurances it won't be enforced.
