On X, formerly known as Twitter, the TikTok account tweeted that users can still access TikTok by installing it on their website at tiktok.com/download.

Android users are familiar with being able to install APK files to access apps that aren’t in the Google Play Store, though at times it could be risky. As some people like to make harmful APK files to jeopardize Android devices. The good thing is that Google uses Play Protect to protect and scan any applications that are installed on Android devices and alarm you if there’s anything that could be potentially harmful, and that’s even including apps that weren’t installed from the Google Play Store.

I won’t be installing TikTok as I gave up my TikTok usage a few years ago, but for those that are still on The TikTok clock including the creators, this should be great for them.
