Since TikTok got banned today the 19th of January 2025. I deleted the app. But the same day it got unbanned. When will TikTok be available to download again on the Apple Store?

Yeah i don’t think it’s very fair that tiktok is unbanned but we can’t download the app.

Except I did have the app before? I was told the app was working yet mine wasn’t, so I deleted it thinking that it would works same as everyone else’s. Stop assuming and actually do something with your time.
Of course Apple hasn’t responded here, as this is a user to user forum.
In the meantime, access TikTok on your preferred web browser.
I’ve already read that. Still doesn’t answer my question on when it will be available again. Because TikTok is unbanned in the US but apple hasn’t responded on when they will release it back to the store.
TikToc being "unbanned" is misinformation.
TikTok is currently blocked in the US due by law:

https://www.nytimes.com/article/what-we-know-tiktok.html
It may take you more time than a TikTok video to actually read those articles, but you have time for that now that TikTok is unavailable so please take more than a few seconds to fully understand the issue.
Per the NYT article, "the law penalizes app stores, like Apple and Google, and other internet companies, like Oracle, for distributing or updating any TikTok content". Therefore, TikTok is currently unavailable on the Apple app store and Google app store. Apple, nor anyone on this community change that. The US Supreme Court recently upheld the ban and therefore only the US Congress can change the law at this point.
While you are at it, this mey be a worthy read:

Hello~ Please see this link for Apple’s stance…

Speculation is not supported here in these forums.

Hello again ~ It’s the only information available here. We do know when or if it will be back in the App Store . Thus the reason I posted we can’t speculate here in these forums.

You will be OK. You didn't have the app before and got along just fine, so there will be no difference for you today either.
