TikTok announced on Sunday that it would be bringing back service for U.S. users after having blocked it the night before. 

In their statement, TikTok mentioned that the video platform was going back online following the necessary assurances from President-elect Donald Trump to the company’s service providers.

“In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service,” TikTok said in a post on X. “We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive.”

“It’s a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States,” the company added.

Just hours prior to TikTok's service suspension for American users, Trump took to Truth Social to advocate for the platform's continued accessibility.

He expressed a desire for it to remain operational in order to broadcast his inauguration on Monday.

“I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security. The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order,” Trump wrote.

TikTok's accessibility resumed intermittently on Sunday afternoon, initially allowing users to access its content via web browsers. As the day progressed, some users regained access, greeted with a message stating, "Welcome back! Thank you for your patience and support. Thanks to President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.! You can continue to create, share, and explore all the things you love on TikTok."

However, the app remained unavailable for download from both Apple’s and Google’s app stores.

The legislation prohibiting TikTok, which was set to take effect on Sunday, permits the president to authorize a 90-day extension before the ban is enacted, contingent upon meeting specific criteria.

According to a law signed by President Joe Biden in April, TikTok would face a ban unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divested the business to a non-Chinese entity.

Before the ban was to be enforced, both Biden and the incoming Trump administration seemed to shift their previous stances on TikTok.

During his campaign, Trump, who had previously supported a ban during his first presidential term, expressed his intention to save TikTok.

Following the Supreme Court's approval of the law on Friday, the Biden administration released a statement indicating it would not enforce the ban, delegating that responsibility to Trump.
