TikTok‘s future in the U.S. is hanging in the balance following a Supreme Court decision to uphold a law mandating the app’s sale by its Chinese parent company by January 19. If the sale doesn’t happen, TikTok could be banned from U.S. users as early as this Sunday.

President-elect Trump commented on the situation, emphasizing the importance of reviewing the circumstances before making a final decision. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged the new administration’s role in carrying out the law and emphasized that TikTok could remain available if it’s under American or other ownership that addresses security concerns.

The immediate risk is that Oracle, which currently hosts TikTok’s video library, could stop offering its services, potentially causing the app to go dark in the U.S. Users may also lose access via internet browsers unless they use a VPN, though downloading updates could be restricted if accounts are tied to U.S. app stores.

For those looking to save content, TikTok allows users to download videos directly from the app, but some creators disable this option. Alternatives like SaveTok and TikDown are becoming increasingly popular for downloading videos.

TikTok users are also turning to platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and the newly trending RedNote, an app similar to TikTok. These alternatives may gain even more traction if the ban goes into effect.
