You may notice TikTok is not available to download on U.S.-based app stores. But there are ways to get it still.

Despite being removed from official app stores, TikTok has offered a direct app download for Android users in the U.S. Here’s everything you need to know.

TikTok created a workaround for Android users to download the app, still banned in the US: a "lite" version of the platform with limited features.

TikTok's uncertain future in the US has caused a surge in people putting the app on their phones through unofficial means, the BBC has been told. An executive order from President Donald Trump means the social media platform can be used in the US despite the Supreme Court upholding a law which will see it sold or banned.
