According to a report from Business Insider, Tiktok owner Bytedance plans to move users to a new version of the video editing app.
Launching a US-specific app is part of the company's broader plan to comply with the 2024 law that requires it to leave Tiktok and other US assets, or risks it being forced to suspend its domestic operations.
Bytedance is also reportedly developing a new version of Tiktok for US users ahead of the expected sale of the app to investors groups.
Capcut has been downloaded over a billion times on the Google Play Store. It is also ranked as the top video app on the iOS US App Store ahead of both Instagram and YouTube.
It is currently unclear whether they plan to create US-specific apps for other services, Lemon8 and Gauth.
