TikTok downloads on APKMirror surge 12 times since India ban

New Delhi: Four days have passed since the TikTok ban. But, despite the fact that Google and Apple have removed the TikTok app from their respective app stores, not only does the China-based short video sharing app continue to be downloaded in India, it has seen the number of downloads from third-party websites increase phenomenally.

Artem Russakovskii, founder of APKMirror, said that since the TikTok ban, downloads have jumped “roughly 10-15 times, and a majority of them are from India”. APKMirror is a popular and trusted website for downloading apps that are not available on the Android app store.
