#### TikTok Ban Update

We know—your feeds are flooded with TikTok ban updates. It’d be remiss not to cover it in this newsletter though.

The latest info we have:

**_•_** TikTok users who _didn’t_ delete the app have access. It’s still unavailable for new users to download (or those who deleted it from their devices).  
**_•_** Google and Apple are unsure whether hosting the app is legal. They’re likely waiting for an official ruling before bringing TikTok back into their app stores.  
**_•_** The executive order President Trump signed extends the enforcement of the ban another 75 days. It isn’t clear what happens after that.

This has (and may continue to) impact access to CapCut. Here are a few other editing apps we’ve heard of:

**_•_** [_InShot_](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/inshot-video-editor/id997362197)  
**_•_** [_Edits_](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/edits-an-instagram-app/id6738967378) (a new editing app by Meta)  
**_•_** [_VN Video Editor_](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vn-video-editor/id1343581380)
