It comes after the social media app was banned on British government phones amid fears of sensitive data being accessed.

THE BBC HAS urged staff to delete TikTok from any corporate devices unless they are using it for editorial and marketing reasons.

A BBC spokesperson said: “The BBC takes the safety and security of our systems, data and people incredibly seriously. The move is a sharp change for the broadcaster which has launched multiple pages on the app in a bid to reach new audiences. TikTok said it was “disappointed” with the BBC’s decision and said bans were based on “fundamental misconceptions and driven by wider geopolitics”.
