After 5 Years, TikTok Tiptoes Back Into India Via Web

In a subtle but potentially significant move, TikTok has reopened access to its website for Indian users. This marks the first time since 2020 that Indian IP addresses can access the platform without VPNs.

While creators are cautiously optimistic, the app remains officially banned. The platform’s quiet return may be testing the waters before a possible relaunch — but only time will tell.
