(Gray News) – Just ahead of a Sunday deadline, TikTok began informing users in the United States that the popular platform was no longer available.

The message read as follows:

“A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now,” it read. “We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”

The Associated Press reported the app had been removed from Apple and Google’s app stores by 10:50 p.m. ET.

Apple said on its website that TikTok and other apps developed by ByteDance Ltd., which owns the social media platform, were no longer available.

“Apple is obligated to follow the laws in the jurisdictions where it operates,” the statement read.

The company also said the apps can no longer be redownloaded if deleted or restored on a new device. Users won’t receive updates, which could impact performance and security.

Hours before the ban took effect, TikTok started informing users it would soon be unavailable with users receiving a message that read as follows:

“We regret that a U.S. law banning TikTok will take effect on January 19 and force us to make our services temporarily unavailable. We’re working to restore our service in the U.S. as soon as possible, and we appreciate your support. Please stay tuned.”

President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday he “most likely” will give TikTok 90 more days to work out a deal that would allow the platform to avoid a U.S. ban.

The Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld the federal law banning TikTok unless its China-based parent company sells it.

While the administration of President Joe Biden has signaled it won’t enforce the law, which begins Sunday on his last full day in office, TikTok has said it needed more “clarity and assurance.”

The company said Friday it would otherwise “be forced to go dark on January 19
