Apple and Google ban TikTok app despite Trump’s executive order giving a 75 day reprieve, and creators are starting to get worried.

### **Apple and Google ban TikTok app despite Trump Executive Order**

Apple and Google are continuing to ban TikTok from their app stores, days after President [Trump signed a 75 day reprieve](https://www.hypebot.com/trump-gives-tiktok-75-days-to-sell-app/). Without the ability to download updates, the app risks becoming unusable overtime.

Neither company has commented on the ongoing app store ban. Many legal analysts question Trump’s ability to override a TikTok ban passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law by President Biden.

Fans and creators who may have deleted the app in haste are **bidding up thousands of [used phones with TikTok installed](https://www.wired.com/story/ebay-sellers-are-hawking-used-phones-with-tiktok-pre-installed-for-thousands-of-dollars/?ref=hypebot.com)**. Some are fetching thousands of dollars.

### Will Creators Get Paid?

Meanwhile [creators are increasingly concerned](https://www.hypebot.com/tiktok-is-restoring-service/) about how all of this will affect their income and if they will have problems getting paid. Some are already reporting overdue payments.
