What led to TikTok's restoration to Apple and Google app stores after being removed for nearly a month?

TikTok returned to Apple and Google's app stores after nearly a month of absence following President Trump's decision to delay the ban on the Chinese-owned application. The app was initially removed on January 19th due to a new U.S. law requiring TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to either divest its American operations or face a complete ban over national security concerns. The restoration came after legislative pressures and assurances from the Justice Department, allowing users to download the app once again. However, this development raises ongoing questions about TikTok's long-term future in the United States, as the company continues negotiations with the U.S. administration regarding a potential sale to address the underlying national security issues that prompted the original ban.
