TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

    Deleted it. My wife then naturally sent me a DM of a thing asking if I could build it cheaper. Reinstalled to see the video, then deleted again.

    There are a lot of content creators there I enjoyed but c’est la vie.

      You can kinda use it to watch a single video on firefox on android, but you have to log in (that’s my experience)

      If you’re on iOS there are add-ins and such so that the link opens in mobile view in safari without issue.

      That’s what I use to view my wife’s TikTok videos she sends me still after I deleted the app.
