TikTok is back in the US for some users who have the app installed, but Apple’s App Store and Google Play still aren’t offering it for downloads or updates.

While TikTok has been restored for millions of American users after going dark, the app still isn't available on Apple's App Store or Google Play.

TikTok may be back, but that hasn't prevented other Chinese competitors from gaining users. In the lead-up to a ban on TikTok — which kicked off Sunday

Three days after ByteDance's TikTok went dark and then was quickly revived in the United States, users who deleted the app were anxiously checking iPhone and Android devices to find it still unavailable to be downloaded again.

Phones that still have TikTok installed on them are fetching high prices on eBay, days after the social media platform's short-lived ban in the United States. The TikTok app is currently unavailable in the Apple App Store — making it available only to those who previously installed the app before its recent ban.

The iPhone 15 and 16 models generally sell for between $1,200 and $1,500 on eBay. When the app was first banned iPhones with TikTok installed were listed for as much as $1 million during the app's 14 hour blackout, Ukrainian technology news outlet ITC reported.

Social media influencer MrBeast says he'd buy TikTok to keep it from being banned. Elon Musk reportedly is interested in buying the app as well.

TikTok’s absence from app stores in the US has sparked an unusual trend: phones with the app pre-installed are being sold on eBay for exorbitant amounts. Some listings are priced as high as $50,000, reported The Independent, with sellers capitalising on the scarcity of the popular short-video platform following its removal.
