If you have either TikTok and WeChat installed on your phone, the app will continue to work. However, both apps will be removed from Apple App Store and Google Play store. So, starting on Sunday, Americans will not be able to download TikTok or WeChat, and current users will no longer be able to update TikTok or WeChat in the future.

The FULL ban will begin on November 12: that is when TikTok and WeChat will STOP working on iPhone and Android. I use Android devices. Google has in the past removed apps that I HAD PAID FOR and were already installed on my Android devices... AND GOOGLE REMOVED MY APPS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! Google did not give me a refund either. (F- you, Google.) Not sure if TikTok and WeChat will get the same treatment.

Telegram.

It's new but gaining popularity. Made by two Russians who are hiding in Europe and refuse to cooperate with the USA -- i.e., the NSA or CIA. You want an app that is beyond the reach of the US government.

I REFUSE to install and use Facebook's WhatsApp, which demanded to scan my phone and my contacts. F- you CIA asset Zuckerberg!

... wanna bet the US will find some reason to ban Telegram too?

Great news for home grown American companies who harvest user data en masse and sell it or access to it

This is the best news I've heard all year!

Better get all your TikTok filmed, edited and uploaded before the ban.

I understand this,

No real value in making any further direct comment here. I just want to have conversation with my family on mainland. Politics etc is suck so bad.

Happy weekend!
