TIKTOK-BAN updates explain-and how you can download it

This article was written by a student writer from the UC Irvine Chapter campus.

We have all heard of the impending Tikok ban that the Americans had lost access to the app for 14 hours. Although the ban was recently stopped by President Trump for 75 days on April 5, 2025- Americans who deleted the app are still unable to access it, since the app for download in the US app Store is still not is available. Although the ban was temporarily not enforced, the legislation that implemented the ban is still in force. Now Americans who have deleted Tikok are regretting their decision because this seems irreversible.

However, there is a problem bypass that has successfully worked for many American users who want to reduce Tikkok. If you want to reduce the app, follow the following steps:

First you want to download a VPN from the App Store. If you have downloaded the VPN app, change the location to somewhere outside the United States, in which Tiktok is not prohibited, such as Canada or Great Britain.

As soon as you have done this, go to the settings of your phone or the settings in your App Store and change the location in “Media and purchases” in the same that you have selected for your VPN under the “Land/Region” Tab. You the input requests to update your country settings. Note: You may need to cancel all ongoing subscriptions that you have to do this. You also have to add a place of residence. I recommend that you only look for a local café in the country you have chosen and to take the address. If you provide a new payment method, choose “None”.

After successfully changing your App Store region, make sure you switch off your phone completely and switch it off for a few minutes. Then switch it on again. This step is of crucial importance to block your settings and ensure that your phone has adapted to the changes you have made.

As soon as your phone is switched on again, register again in the App Store, search for Tiktok and download it normally. After you have followed this steps, you should be able to access the app again. You can also change your location to the USA and register again after the app has been safely downloaded on your phone.

Although Tikk's future is still uncertain in the United States, it is for those who rely on entertainment, content creation and their companies to keep Tiktok as long as possible as long as possible. With the accessibility of the app in the air, we can now do it if we can still do it.
