TikTok went offline in the United States on Saturday night, less than two hours before the ban was set to take effect.

The extraordinary outage prevents access to one of the most popular social media apps in the world – one that was used by 170 million Americans.

A message appeared on the phones of app users that read: "Sorry, TikTok is not available right now. A law banning TikTok has been passed in the US. Unfortunately, this means you cannot use TikTok at the moment."

TikTok's action comes after the Supreme Court upheld a ban that was passed with broad bipartisan support in Congress and signed into law in April by President Joe Biden.
