By Saturday evening, January 18th, TikTok went offline for all U.S. users. This happened just before the complete enforcement of the federal ban (on January 19th). Consequently, the app was taken down from major app marketplaces, and its 170 million American users could no longer access their For You Pages.
Beginning January 19, approximately at 9:30 pm EST, TikTok users encountered this message upon opening the app: “A U.S. law prohibiting TikTok has been passed. As a result, you cannot use TikTok temporarily. Fortunately, President Trump has suggested he will collaborate with us to reactivate TikTok once he assumes office. Please keep an eye on updates.
Initially, users encounter a notification that requires them to either “Shut down the app” or “Find out More”, with the latter directing them to the app’s official website. During this time, they are allowed to continue logging in to download their data. Earlier, for approximately an hour, users had already seen a preliminary pop-up message, which served as the initial warning about the upcoming ban.
During an interview with NBC News on the 18th, Trump expressed his intention to probably offer the app a 90-day delay before any possible ban.
