Montana has become the first US state to pass legislation banning TikTok on personal devices on its territory.
TikTok, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has been accused of posing a national security risk through data gathered from users.
If signed into law by Governor Greg Gianforte, the ban could come into effect in January.
The company has suggested that it would take legal action to fight the Montana bill.
