TikTok’s official website has become accessible to several users across India, sparking speculation about a possible return of the Chinese video-sharing giant.The ban on TikTok and several other apps came into effect in June 2020, when the Government of India blocked 59 Chinese applications, citing security threats. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology had stated that “enough information was available to prove that these were engaged in activities which are prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of the state and public order.”Alongside TikTok, apps like Shareit, Kwai, UC Browser, UC News, Vigo Video, Baidu Map, Clash of Kings, and DU Battery Saver were also banned in India.While the sudden reappearance of TikTok’s website has sparked speculation, the app itself remains unavailable on app stores, in India. Officials have clarified that no formal order has been issued to lift the ban at this time.As the buzz around TikTok continues, social media users shared hilarious memes.TikTok coming back?Ring light owner and powder owner rn :#tiktokpic.twitter.com/lAz4kIcnQc— Nikhil (@Oye_Nik) August 22, 2025Remember Galwan before lifting the ban on TikTok in India. 沈#TikTok pic.twitter.com/GCZGHd25cm— Radhika Chaudhary (@PalhawatRadhika) August 22, 2025After 5 years, TikTok will finally make a comeback in India.
