What's next for TikTok as US sale deadline looms?

TikTok has returned to Apple and Google's US app stores weeks after President Donald Trump delayed a ban of the Chinese-owned video-sharing app.

Millions of US users can now download the app and update it again.

The app temporarily went dark in January before a law requiring owner ByteDance to either sell it or face a ban due to concerns over national security and algorithmic influence was due to come into effect on Jan. 19.

TikTok has denied that it has or ever would share US user data.

Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 20, delaying the law's enforcement by 75 days.

Trump is considering extending the 75-day delay but has said he doesn't think that will be necessary as he believes a buyer will be found.

Other countries have already banned the app.
