TikTok has stopped working in the United States, hours before a new law banning the platform goes into effect.

BBC News technology correspondent Lily Jamali explains why, and shows what happens now when you try to access the app.

This comes after the social media platform warned that it “will remain dark” on Sunday unless the outgoing Biden administration provides guarantees that the ban will not be implemented.

President-elect Donald Trump said he will “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day reprieve from the ban once he takes office on Monday, but the future of the popular app in the US remains unclear.
