TikTok responds to the Commerce Dept.’s move to ban U.S. transactions with the app, saying it disagrees with the decision and is “disappointed.”

will have to remove the apps from their libraries. The statement also blocks U.S. companies from providing services through WeChat "for the purpose of transferring funds or processing payments within the U.S."

In an interview with Fox Business on Friday, Ross said the bans will affect TikTok and WeChat differently at first. He said TikTok will still function, but users will not be able to upgrade the app. Commerce Department officials who spoke with reporters on the condition of anonymity Friday slightly contradicted Ross' statements on Fox Business and said neither TikTok nor WeChat will be available to download as of midnight Sunday.
