TikTok is said to be working on restoring service to U.S. users, about 14 hours after it abruptly shut itself down minutes before a nationwide ban took effect

This move comes after President-elect Donald Trump promises to halt the ban when he takes office Monday by extending a deadline for China-based ByteDance to sell the app.

on Sunday afternoon, TikTok tweeted it “is in the process of restoring service” and thanked Trump for “providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties,” adding the company “will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.”
