TikTok, the Chinese short-video platform, that has been banned in India since June 2020, has sparked a speculation about a potential comeback after several users reported being able to access its website in the country, with some claiming that the website was accessible with VPN.

However, the Indian government and the ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, are yet to release any official statement regarding the short-video platform's website being active.

The Union government had in 2020 banned 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok, WeChat, UC Browser, Xiaomi’s Mi Community, ShareIt, and CamScanner, over national security concerns.
