Who would miss TikTok more? See the most obsessed states
New data has revealed the most TikTok-obsessed states in America, with Nevada and New York leading the way in TikTok-related searches.
The company Socially Powerful analyzed 30 of the most popular TikTok-related keywords, including "TikTok," "TikTok app," "TikTok store" and "download TikTok," in each each state over the past 12 months.
This allowed them to calculate which states had the most TikTok-related searches per 100,000 people.

Trump halts TikTok ban
The backstory:
TikTok remains in limbo as U.S. users wait for clarity on its availability in app stores.
RELATED: Why isn't TikTok appearing in app stores despite Trump's halt on the ban?
Though President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday to pause the federal ban for 75 days, Apple and Google have yet to reinstate the app on their platforms. This leaves users unable to download or update TikTok despite assurances from the administration.
ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, continues to explore options for divesting its U.S. assets to comply with federal law.
