TikTok resumed its services in the United States on Sunday, just hours after the platform went offline in compliance with a federal ban.

President-elect Donald Trump quickly announced plans to delay the ban through an executive order, giving TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, additional time to secure an approved buyer.

The ban, part of a law passed in April with bipartisan support, required ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations by Sunday or face severe penalties.

In response, TikTok temporarily shut down its platform late Saturday night, with Google and Apple removing the app from their stores.

The sudden blackout left users frustrated, including tennis star Coco Gauff, who referenced the ban after her fourth-round win over Belinda Bencic at the Australian Open.

Gauff, after her dramatic 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 comeback, wrote “RIP TikTok USA” with a broken heart on a courtside camera lens.

By Sunday afternoon, however, TikTok users were greeted with a message expressing gratitude to both its supporters and President Trump: “Thanks to President Trump’s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!”
