TikTok is still absent from the Google Play Store. But the company is now letting users download the app officially on their Android phones.

If you need to download and install TikTok in the US, you can do so on Android even though the app isn't back on the Play Store yet. In a tweet, the TikTok Policy account has announced that the service has made Android Package Kits available for download through its official web site.

TikTok said on Friday it was allowing U.S. Android users to download and connect to the short video app through package kits on its website, in an effort to circumvent restrictions on the popular platform in the country.

TikTok has announced that it will enable Android users in the US to download and use the app through some package kits accessible on its website. This comes as the ByteDance-owned app is looking at ways to circumvent the restrictions that were imposed on the app in the US.

TikTok allows U.S. Android users to download the app from its website as it remains unavailable on app stores due to a new law requiring ByteDance to sell it or face a ban. Concerns over data misuse persist,
