Tiktok secretly builds a brand new application for American users, because its Chinese owner, Fatted, must sell the US version by law. According to Insider reports, this replacement app will hit Apple and Google Stores 5. September. President Trump claims that the US “largely” has an agreement, but this week will start with China to finish it.
Existing application to turn off by March 2026: Messages
The clock ticks: Trump has expanded the deadline by September 17 to pass the US operations Tiktoku. If the sale occurs, a group of US investors will own and run a new application.
Here’s what 170 million US users have to know: Your current application will continue to work until March 2026, but eventually you will have to go to the new version.
The change will not be immediate; Tiktok plans a six -month crossing where both applications could work side by side. But next spring, the original Tiktok will stop working in America.
The company has not confirmed whether your followers, videos or messages are automatically transmitted. This scratch comes after years of us to worry that China could have espionage through the tiktok, the claim that the society denies. The legislators say the sale will protect national security.
The barrel roadblock remains. At the beginning of this year, China blocked a similar sale after Trump hit Chinese goods with steep new tariffs. Beijing could stop the agreement again because the rules for the export of Chinese technology require approval to transmit the algorithm of the tiktoku. Trump admitted, “We will probably have to get China okay”.

Meanwhile, Tiktok employees work overtime to “clone” the application with the same features as for your channels and live gifts, but under servers and US -controlled software. Workers are afraid that a hurried timeline can cause defects or data loss during the switch.
What will be next? If China Greenlights agreements, Tiktok’s sale could end by the end of September. If not, the application faces US ban.
