I don't think they will put it on fdroid, because it has to really be open source to be there, but there's certainly other app stores which will have it.
How can a ban be enforced? It's always thru Google app Store or IP, and you can always bypass both.
In Aurora Store there's TikTok. You can install aurora store here:

In Worst case you can try finding the official tiktok .APK install somewhere
It's really hard to bypass ip bans. Tik tok in India has been non existent since the ban.
You can use VPN (paid or free) for instance and if the ban is really badly done even by changing the DNS server (which is free) access can be restored.
Nope. You can't access tiktok through vpn in India. You need a patched/modded app. I live in India and I've tried doing that. It's a non-existent platform here. Bans will affect user engagement.
As a curiosity: how do the system know if you are in India? You said VPN doesn't work so it's not thru IP address. What's it then?
ok, thanks for the info. I don't know a lot about how this kind of thing works (clearly), I just try to use and support FOSS and "piracy" whenever possible.
