We’re only a few days away from the TikTok ban but there is a bit of confusion on what this ban really means. Will the app be deleted from phones? Can users watch videos from other countries? Can users share videos? Can users upload videos? Can users still make money? How long is the ban? are some of the many questions people are asking.

Below is a list of changes that may happen when TikTok is shutdown on January 19, 2025.

TIKTOK BAN DETAILS

1. Will not be available to download in the App Store (if tiktok is already on your phone, it will stay)
2. No more new updates (TikTok app may move slower due to this)
3. Will not work on some public wifi (without phone service, you can’t use tiktok)
4. More likely to glitch
5. TikTok drafts won’t be stored
6. Cannot save videos to your device
7. TikTok plans to keep paying U.S. app worker

So overall the app will still be available to use but it may move slower and feature will be limited. In these last days of full access you should screenshot and save your videos so your hard work and creativity doesn’t get lost in the AI universe. TikTok we’ll miss you!
