TikTok’s potential return to India has sparked buzz after its website became accessible to some users, five years after the 2020 ban due to data privacy and national security concerns. The Indian government, under PM Narendra Modi, banned TikTok and 58 other Chinese apps following the Galwan Valley clash. While the app remains unavailable on Google Play and Apple App Stores, the website’s partial accessibility has fueled speculation. The Ministry of Electronics and IT clarifies the ban remains in place. Improving India-China relations, including recent diplomatic talks, may influence future decisions, but no official confirmation of TikTok’s return exists.
