I'm sure you've heard the news by now about Tik Tok and WeChat, and how it will affect U.S. customers.

This is a follow up to my past post on July 28, and the first new information we have seen on Tik Tok and WeChat since.

The tech sector of the US Stock Market took a hit today. The latter is due to the U.S. announcing that TikTok and WeChat will be banned from user downloads, starting Sunday due to national security concerns
What this all means is that updated versions of the apps cannot be downloaded in the U.S. beginning on Sunday. Users who have already downloaded the apps may be able to continue using the software.
"The only real change as of Sunday night will be [TikTok users] won't have access to improved apps, updated apps, upgraded apps or maintenance," Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Friday morning on Fox Business.

Tik Tok has already been banned in India.

Those who have a current Tik Tok account in the U.S. won't be affected until a new updated version becomes available, then (unless something else changes) any new versions of Tik Tok will not be able to be downloaded.
Beginning Sunday however, there will be restrictions targeting WeChat that will be even more severe.

It will be illegal to host or transfer internet traffic associated with WeChat. Unless something changes, the same will hold true for TikTok in the U.S. starting as of Nov. 12
