Bytedance plans to launch Us Capcut to comply with US law

Bytedance, who is the owner of Tiktok, prepares the launch of a specific version for the United States of its popular Capcut video editing application. This strategy seeks adapt to a 2024 lawwhich forces the company to disconnect from its US operations or, on the contrary, cease its activity in the country.

Beyond Tiktok: New versions for the US.

As we already explained to you, Bytedonce also contemplates the development of an independent Tiktok app for users of the United States. The decision to create Capcut uswhich is what the new version is called, points to a broader strategy To separate several applications from the US market, not only the most popular, Tiktok. In fact, it must be remembered that the latter exceeds 1,000 million downloads on Google Play and heads the photo and video category in the Apple App Store in the United States, even surpassing local competitors, such as Instagram and YouTube.

After the approval of the law in 2024, Bytedance tried to challenge it judicially, but lost its appeal before the Supreme Court in January. Subsequently, President Donald Trump ordered his attorney to apply the law while negotiating a possible sale of Tiktok.

Keep in mind that neither Tiktok or Bytedonce have officially commented on these plans, although they are plausible in view of the legal context in which the company is in the United States. If materialized, American users would have to download New Capcut and Tiktok applications To continue using your services. In fact, they would only have access to these local versions.
