There's a new way to download TikTok, free from the Play Store's shackles

Social media apps do everything to get your attention and TikTok was arguably the social media app that popularized the efficacy of short video content, keeping users hooked, so much so that even the likes of YouTube followed suit. However, TikTok has also been the center of unwanted attention of governments around the world, including rather recently, when the app's publisher, ByteDance, was forced to pull the app off official distribution channels in the US. It isn't reinstated there, but users in the US can now download the official version of the app again.
