You’ve heard of the TikTok ban, but have you heard of the CapCut ban? If you regularly create video content for social media, chances are you will have heard, or even used the popular video editing app. With the looming TikTok ban in the United States, users have been scrambling to make sure their content is saved, while getting set up on alternatives like Instagram and RedNote. However, it’s not just TikTok that’s at risk of going dark – it’s CapCut too. If you’re yet to prepare for life without CapCut, don’t stress! Picsart is here to help you transition with useful tools and features, making sure that you can keep creating great video content.
What is it?
The potential CapCut ban has raised questions about its future availability in the United States. The reason for the uncertainty is due to the app being owned by ByteDance, the company that also owns TikTok. With restrictions being placed on some ByteDance operations in the US, we are yet to see if the ban will span all of ByteDance’s products, or just TikTok. Users in impacted areas may find the app unavailable for new downloads or updates. This could disrupt how videos are made by content creators, businesses, and casual users alike.
When will it happen?
The TikTok ban is due to begin on Sunday January 19th 2025.
