A measure to ban TikTok in the US has been approved by Congress and is awaiting President Biden’s signature. However, the ban will not take effect immediately and users can expect at least a year before the app disappears from app stores. TikTok has previously faced legal challenges and could potentially delay the ban further through court actions. In the event of a ban, users may seek alternative platforms such as Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. While TikTok could become unusable over time without updates, tech-savvy users may find ways to circumvent the ban using VPNs or other methods.
