- Despite the US president delaying the TikTok ban, the mobile app is still unavailable on Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store.
- While Android users can easily sideload the APK file on their phones, there’s no straightforward way to download the app on American iPhones.
- There are currently over 24,000 eBay listings for “TikTok phone,” with some sellers asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Although the US president has delayed the TikTok ban for 75 days, the phone app’s listing remains missing on Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store. Consequently, those who have deleted the TikTok app are now limited to its website — which is unintuitive to use on smartphones. To capitalize on the situation, eBay sellers are listing their used phones with TikTok installed for thousands of dollars.
