TikTok is back in the U.S. app stores Thursday following President Donald Trump’s delay in banning the short-form video app.
Sensor Tower, a market intelligence firm, found that TikTok had more than 52 million downloads last year, with 52 percent of the downloads coming from Apple’s app store and 48 percent coming from Google Play.
Trump has said that he has been in talks with several people regarding the buying of TikTok and that he would probably come to a decision regarding the future of the app this month.
Speaking in the Oval Office, he said he hopes to come to an agreement to allow the app to keep operating in the U.S., saying that the app helped him win the 2024 election.
Trump’s order stated that the companies running the app store wouldn’t be penalized for keeping the app available.
