TikTok, which is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, instead is planning on immediately shutting down in the States, The Information reported late on Tuesday night. Reuters confirmed the news on their end on Wednesday morning, saying TikTok plans on directing users on Sunday to a page about the ban and giving them an option to download their data.

If TikTok is banned on January 19, users in the United States could see their access abruptly shut off, but they'll be able to retrieve their personal data.

Users who have the TikTok app on their phone will still be able to access it after Jan. 19. However, because the ban would prevent Apple and Google from providing the app with necessary updates, TikTok would quickly break down and become unusable, leading Americans to look for an alternative app.
