TikTok. In an effort to address concerns about user data and security, TikTok is launching a new app specifically for American users, separate from the main platform. According to reports (subscription required), the new app will be available on September 5, with the current app functioning until March next year. New users in the U.S. will need to download the separate app to access TikTok. This move will create a distinct TikTok experience for users in the United States, separate from the global platform.
