The app went dark nationwide on Saturday night, but the company indicated it was in the process of restoring the service after assurances from President-elect Donald J. Trump.

Trump’s proposal exerted pressure on the entire tech ecosystem that makes TikTok available to U.S. users, including app store operators and service providers like Oracle which hosts its servers.

Coco Gauff said she hopes TikTok "comes back" in the U.S. after the federal ban of the popular app took effect Saturday.

NEW YORK (AP) — During his first term as president, Donald Trump led the effort to ban TikTok, the hugely popular video-sharing site he said posed a threat to U.S. national security. But on the eve of his return to the White House, the president-elect is being hailed as the app’s savior.

The president-elect Sunday pledged an executive order, hours into his second term, returning access for American users, at least temporarily.

Nearly 200 House Republicans and over 30 Senate Republicans voted to ban TikTok last year if it did not sell its U.S. operations.
