ByteDance is set to release a new US-only version of TikTok, named “M2,” on September 5, in response to legislation requiring the sale of its US operations. The existing TikTok app, referred to as “M,” will be removed from US app stores, and users will need to transition to M2, with the current app expected to cease functioning by March 2024, as a potential ban looms.
Explain It To Me Like I’m 5: ByteDance is making a new version of TikTok just for people in the US, called “M2,” that will replace the old one by September 5 to follow new rules about running the app in the country.
