TikTok is back – at least partially – in the United States after a national ban, but other popular apps from ByteDance, such as the digital card game Marvel Snapthe video editing app CapCut, and the social platform Lemon8, are still blocked. None of these apps, including TikTok, are currently available for download on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Although many users expected CapCut and Lemon8 to be affected by the law that prohibits TikTok, Marvel Snapedge of it took some by surprise – including its own developer. Sunday morning, the game studio Second Dinner said in a post on X“This outage is a surprise to us and was not planned. MARVEL SNAP is not going anywhere. Marvel Snap is published by Nuverse, a game developer of ByteDance.
Users trying to open Marvel snapCapCut, and Lemon8 will see a message similar to the one that TikTok displayed when it went dark on Saturday night. “A law banning CapCut has been enacted in the United States,” the pop-up on CapCut reads. “Unfortunately, this means you can’t use CapCut for now. Rest assured, we’re working to restore our service in the U.S. Please stay tuned!”
Both Google and Apple show warnings to users who try to search for ByteDance’s apps. While the Play Store says, “Downloads for this app are paused due to current US legal requirements,” a banner on the App Store notes, “TikTok and other ByteDance apps are not available in the country or region you are in.”
It is not yet clear when Marvel SnapCapCut, or Lemon8 will start working again or when they return to mobile app stores.
