CapCut users in the US are able to use the video-editing app again.
CapCut is back online in the US after going dark with TikTok.
Both the video-editing app and the video-sharing platform are owned by Chinese firm ByteDance and went down last weekend after being banned in the US amid security concerns.
However, on Tuesday (21.01.25), a day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order giving a 75-day reprieve from the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which meant apps owned by ByteDance had to be sold to a non-Chinese buyer by January 19 or face a nationwide ban, the site is back up and running for Americans.
Despite some users being greeted with a message welcoming them back to the app, CapCut and TikTok are reportedly still not available to download on the Apple and Google stores.
The note read: “Welcome back!
“Thanks for your patience and support.
“CapCut is back in the U.S.! You can continue to create, edit and discover all the things you love on CapCut.”
Trump is determined to save TikTok but still wants it to have 50 per cent American ownership.
