JAKARTA TikTok is developing a new application for its users in the United States (US). This step was taken when TikTok was still urged to separate from ByteDance, its parent company.
The development of this application was first reported by The Information. It is not clear what the name of the application will be used for, but a source familiar with this issue stated that application development was carried out to comply with divestment rules.
The popular video platform will launch its new app on September 5, 2025, specifically for users in the US. The app will be available on the country's Google Play Store, App Store, and other legal app stores.
In the end, TikTok users in the US will be asked to switch to new apps. This is the best step to comply with the regulations set by the US government as well as to ensure service operations for hundreds as well as users.

Apparently, TikTok deliberately launched its new app in September 2025 so users have plenty of time to migrate. The original TikTok app will remain available in the US until March 2026 if there is no time change.
News of the launch of this application also emerged amid discussions between China and the US. Not long ago, US President Donald Trump stated that his party would start talking to China about TikTok's future.
Trump pun menyatakan bahwa AS hampir mencapai kesepakatan terkait penjualan aplikasi video vertical tersebut. Hingga saat ini, belum diketahui seperti apa detail dari kesepakatan TikTok yang tengah dibahaskan China dan AS.
