Job role that means you might not be able to have TikTok

Having a government job might mean you cannot have the TikTok app downloaded on any of your devices.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the security minister Tom Tugendhat have both hinted at following the US and the European Union in banning the popular app from government phones and devices. Washington and the European Commission have already moved to ban the app on devices issued to staff or on personal phones used for work.

This means that if you work in a government role, such as being a member of the civil service, you might be banned from having the app on your phone if you use it for work purposes.
