TikTok said Friday that it is allowing U.S. Android users to download and connect to the short-video app directly from its website, working around restrictions that have kept the app off Google and Apple stores.

The move comes after a U.S. law took effect on January 19 requiring TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a nationwide ban. Apple and Google have yet to reinstate TikTok in their app stores.

President Donald Trump, who took office on January 20, signed an executive order delaying the law’s enforcement by 75 days. He has said he is in talks with multiple parties about TikTok’s potential sale and expects to make a decision this month.

Trump also signed an order on Monday directing the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, suggesting that the money could be used to buy TikTok.

U.S. officials have raised concerns that ByteDance could misuse Americans’ data, though TikTok denies such claims.

The company says its recommendation engine and user data for American users are stored on Oracle-operated cloud servers in the U.S. and that content moderation decisions affecting U.S. users are made domestically.

TikTok’s ban has faced strong opposition from free speech advocates, who argue that the law—passed overwhelmingly by Congress and signed by then-President Joe Biden—violates digital rights.

For now, TikTok’s direct download option gives Android users a way to keep using the app, but the long-term fate of the platform in the U.S. remains uncertain.
