TikTok went offline in the United States Saturday night, less than two hours before a ban was slated to go into effect.

The law banning TikTok in the United States officially took effect on Sunday, but the platform temporarily went dark as of late Saturday evening. Earlier on Saturday, TikTok had already begun to warn users that the service would be “temporarily unavailable,” though it remained viewable for much of the day.

TikTok has announced that, after going away for about half a day, its service is coming back on in the US. The company posted on X that it is “in the process of restoring service” and thanked President Trump for “providing the necessary clarity” to do so.

TikTok went offline at 10:30 p.m. ET in the United States on Saturday as a federal ban was enacted. Apple subsequently removed the app from the App Store, saying it is “obligated to follow the laws in the jurisdictions where it operates.”

TikTok said it was in the process of restoring its service in the U.S. on Sunday, adding it will work with Republican President-elect Donald Trump on a long-term solution that keeps the popular Chinese-owned social media app in the United States.

Coco Gauff said she hopes TikTok "comes back" in the U.S. after the federal ban of the popular app took effect Saturday.
