CapCut ban update: ByteDance video editor is back for U.S. users, but it’s still not in Apple and Google app stores

The TikTok ban in the US also affected other ByteDance apps, including CapCut. However, President Trump granted a 75-day extension on the ban, allowing CapCut to become operational again for those who had it installed previously. CapCut is accessible on both mobile devices and desktop in the US. Despite the extension, CapCut and TikTok remain unavailable on app stores. President Trump's order to suspend the ban faces legal challenges, with senators warning of potential fines for companies hosting ByteDance apps. The law allows for fines of up to $5,000 per user, potentially amounting to billions of dollars. The legality of Trump's order remains uncertain, and CapCut's return to app stores is contingent on a sale that meets certain divestment requirements. CapCut's availability in the US is subject to the outcome of these legal and political developments.
