Watch: How TikTok ‘went dark’ in the US

TikTok has gone offline in the US, hours before a new law banning the platform was due to come into effect.

BBC News Tech Correspondent Lily Jamali explains what led to this and shows what now happens when she tries to access the app.

It comes after the social media platform warned it would “go dark” on Sunday unless the outgoing Biden administration gave assurances the ban would not be enforced.

President-elect Donald Trump has said he would “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day reprieve from a ban once he takes office on Monday, but the popular app’s future in the US remains unclear.
