Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s your funny friend Nuked here, ready to dive into the latest scoop on our favorite apps. Buckle up, because we’ve got a wild ride ahead!
So, guess what? TikTok has made a comeback in the U.S. at least partially. But hold your horses! Other popular apps from ByteDance like Marvel Snap, CapCut, and Lemon8 are still feeling the heat of the nationwide ban. Unfortunately, you won’t find any of these gems available for download on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store right now.
Many folks expected CapCut and Lemon8 to be caught up in the TikTok ban, but Marvel Snap’s situation caught even its developers off guard! Second Dinner, the studio behind the game, expressed their surprise on social media, saying, “This outage is a surprise to us and wasn’t planned. MARVEL SNAP isn’t going anywhere.” Talk about an unexpected plot twist!
If you try to open Marvel Snap, CapCut, or Lemon8 right now, you’re greeted with a message reminiscent of TikTok’s dark times. CapCut users see a pop-up stating, “A law banning CapCut has been enacted in the U.S.” It continues with an optimistic note: “Rest assured, we’re working to restore our service in the U.S. Please stay tuned!” Fingers crossed for a quick resolution!
The drama unfolded just hours before the federal divest-or-ban law kicked in on January 19th. Alongside TikTok, this ban also impacts other ByteDance apps like TikTok Studio and Lark – Team Collaboration. It’s a tough time for fans of these platforms!
Meanwhile, both Google and Apple are keeping users in the loop. The Play Store informs us that “Downloads for this app are paused due to current US legal requirements,” while the App Store has a friendly reminder: “TikTok and other ByteDance apps are not available in the country or region you’re in.”
As of now, it’s anyone’s guess when Marvel Snap, CapCut, or Lemon8 will be back up and running or when they’ll grace our mobile app stores again. Stay tuned for updates because this tech saga is far from over!
