With TikTok forced into a shutdown, its US-based rivals Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts could reap benefit.
TikTok has shut down its services in the US, citing a law banning its operation in the country due to national security concerns.
The law, upheld by the US Supreme Court, requires Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores, blocking new downloads.
“A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the US. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now.
“We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office.” TikTok said in a message to users.

President-elect Donald Trump has indicated that he will work with TikTok to find a solution, possibly by issuing an executive order to halt the ban.
After discussing TikTok with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump told NBC News that he could activate a 90-day reprieve after he reclaims the Oval Office.
“I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done because it’s appropriate,” Trump said.
