In a surprising development, TikTok’s official website is now accessible in India, marking its first public reappearance since being banned in 2020. While the mobile app remains unavailable on both Android and iOS platforms, users can now browse the site and view content via desktop browsers.
The quiet return has sparked widespread speculation about a possible full-scale comeback, although no official announcement has been made by TikTok or Indian authorities. After years of silence, TikTok’s web version is now active for Indian users, signaling a potential thaw in its long-standing ban. The app, however, continues to be restricted due to security concerns raised during the 2020 ban on over 50 Chinese applications.
With diplomatic relations between India and China seeing signs of improvement, some experts believe the company may be testing public and political response before pursuing a full re-entry into the Indian digital market.
