TikTok comes under the top 10 Apps on Google play store. According to the last month’s data, there are nearly about 119 million TikTok users in India. As a notice issued by the government, you might be aware of the recent breaking news that 59 Chinese apps have been banned strictly in India.
Among them, TikTok responded to the ban in India, too. The app has not been removed from phones, but it’s not available anymore on the Google Play Store. People who are still active will be restricted via ISP channels. According to the order, all apps must be removed from Android and iOS.
TikTok responds to ban
This is not the first time that TikTok has responded to the ban in India. It was also banned a few days ago, but it was back in the Play Store within no time. So, the question arises, “Will it be back again, or is it the end?” It is also said that this step has been taken to protect the sovereignty and privacy of the people using this app because it shares the user’s data with China.
The head of the TikTok Nikhil Gandhi also stated that, “TikTok continues to comply with all data privacy and security requirements under Indian law and has not shared any information of our users in India with any foreign government, including the Chinese government.
Further, if requested in the future, we would not do so. We place the highest importance on user privacy and integrity. “Until further notice, there is no other way to use these apps unless you use a VPN to bypass the ban. Still, the apps have not been declared illegal, but this is a great step to protect privacy and security.
