BBCTikTok has gone offline in the US, hours before a new law banning the platform was due to come into effect.
A message appearing on the app for US users said a law banning TikTok had been enacted, meaning “you can’t use TikTok for now”.
“We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office,” it read.
It comes after the social media platform warned it would “go dark” on Sunday unless the outgoing Biden administration gave assurances the ban will not be enforced.
President-elect Donald Trump earlier said he will “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day reprieve from a ban once he takes office on Monday.
Users reported that the app had also been removed from Google’s US App Store and TikTok.com was not showing videos.
The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a law banning the app in the US unless its China-based parent company, ByteDance, sold the platform by 19 January, which it has not done.
The law, passed in April last year, required ByteDance to sell the US version of the platform to a neutral party to avert an outright ban.
TikTok challenged the law, arguing that it violates free speech protections for its 170 million users in the country.
