TikTok's Not Getting Banned, but These Apps Give It a Run for Its Money

The US ban on TikTok has likely been avoided (again). On Tuesday President Trump signaled his intent to add a 90-day extension to prevent the ban from taking effect on June 19. The extra time is meant to give the Chinese-owned app an opportunity to find a US-approved buyer.

TikTok was shut down for less than 24 hours in January, in anticipation of a ban upheld by the Supreme Court. Access to TikTok was restored after the app received an extra 75 days to find a US buyer, and in April the deadline was extended by 90 days. Now the deadline will likely be extended by another 90 days.

However, if you're one of the nearly 150 million Americans who actively use TikTok, you may be wondering where else you can find your fix of short-form content. Could another Chinese-owned app be the answer?
