TikTok shut down in the US hours before a new law banning the platform was due to take effect.
BBC News tech correspondent Lily Jamali explains what led to this and reveals what’s happening now when she tries to access the app.
It came after the social media platform warned it would “go dark” on Sunday unless the outgoing Biden administration assured it would not enforce the ban.
President-elect Donald Trump said he would “most likely” grant TikTok a 90-day reprieve from the ban once he takes office on Monday, but the future of the popular app in the US remains unclear.
