TikTok builds new US app version ahead of planned sale
Sunday, 6 July 2025 ()
Social media giant TikTok will launch a new version of its popular app to Apple's and Google's app stores on September 5, as part of an agreement to sell its US business looms.
US users of TikTok will see a new version of the app starting September 5, 2025.
Users of TikTok in the US will eventually need to migrate to the new version of the app, though the company reports that the present version is expected to work until March 2026. The unusual update will enable the new app to address US security concerns, and allow the new owners of the US version to take control.
A consortium of non-Chinese tech firms are expected to buy TikTok's US operations. Among those involved in the deal is US-based firm Oracle, though original owner Bytedance will retain a minority interest, according to The Information.Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
