TikTok was one of the most popular social media apps in India before the ban. The short video platform faced a ban in the country last year alongside several other Chinese applications under Section 69A of the IT act. Since the ban, the company has been exploring various opportunities to bring back the short video platform in the country. Currently, there are no official words from the company on the relaunch of TikTok in India.

Among the hundreds of banned Chinese apps, PUBG Mobile is the only one that has relaunched in the country with a new identity. Besides TikTok, another banned Chinese app is coming to India, Shein online shopping platform. Unfortunately, Shein will not relaunch as a separate app but just as a platform within the Amazon website during the Prime Day sale 2021, which begins on July 26 for everyone and on July 25 for Prime members.
