TikTok is already coming back online in the United States on Sunday just hours after President-elect Donald Trump announced he would issue an executive order on Monday to restore the platform.

Not long ago, TikTok released a statement, explaining, "In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service. We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive."

They continued, "It's a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States."

ICYMI ... Donald Trump took to Truth Social this morning with a strong message -- writing "SAVE TIKTOK" in one post.

He then wrote that he planned to pass an executive order Monday -- the same day he will be inaugurated as the country's 47th president -- protecting the app.

Trump mentioned the possibility of the United States to take a 50% ownership position in the app ... thus diluting ByteDance's control of the company.
