Since TikTok is temporarily unavailable to download in app stores in the U.S., we're enhancing ways for you to continue using TikTok if you don't have the app installed on your mobile device.
TikTok on Android
We've made an Android Package Kit (APK) for TikTok and TikTok Lite available to download on Android devices. TikTok Lite is an app that offers an alternative way to experience TikTok on your mobile device, with fewer features to optimize performance and save storage. You can watch, follow, and interact with creators or create your own posts, but some features such as LIVE and TikTok Shop are not available.
Important things to know:
• Our current robust protocols remain in place for our Android Package Kits to ensure our app remains safe and secure. Oracle and our Independent Security Inspectors continue to have access to our app's source code and can review it for potential vulnerabilities through technical security testing and validation of the TikTok U.S. Platform.
• To protect your device from malicious software, we recommend downloading our app from the TikTok website and avoiding downloads from any other websites or QR codes.
