Indian TikTok users awoke Tuesday (30) to a notice
from the popular short-video app saying the
company was working to comply with an India
government ban on dozens of Chinese apps amid
a military standoff between the two countries.


While service in India was suspended, the
ban was largely symbolic since the apps can’t
be automatically erased from devices where
they’ve already been downloaded. The move
was a response to a border clash with China
where 20 Indian soldiers died earlier this month,
digital experts said.
