TikTok aims to restore services for US users

TikTok is working with its service providers to restore full functionality in the US, where it serves over 170 million users.

This comes after US authorities assured service providers that they would not face penalties for supporting TikTok.

The company also highlighted its impact on over 7 million small businesses in the country.

However, no further details about the agreement or timeline for the resolution have been disclosed.
