For anyone who wants to have the TikTok app on their phone, you have until midnight on Sunday to download it from a U.S. store. However, it’s not just downloading the app that you need to do. In order for apps to run smoothly on smartphones, they need to process tech updates regularly — and once TikTok is banned from app stores, U.S. users will no longer be able to download updates for the app. This means that the current version of the app will soon be outdated and difficult to use, likely leading to glitches and malfunctions.

TikTok lovers should also mark November 12 as an important date on their calendar. If TikTok can’t work with the U.S. government to solve problems related to security concerns, then the app would be fully banned from U.S. users, the New York Times reports.
