Do you still have TikTok installed?

✅ Yes - You still have TikTok:

Do NOT delete the app — you may not be able to redownload it.
Turn off auto-updates to avoid forced removal or lockout.
Install a VPN now, before the ban, to keep future access.
Start following your favorite creators on other platforms (Instagram, YouTube).

Set up a VPN that works with TikTok

❌ No - You don't have TikTok:

You likely won't be able to reinstall TikTok after the ban hits.
VPNs won't help unless you already have the app on your device.
To keep up with creators, try finding them on Instagram or YouTube Shorts.
