In a surprising turn of events, following the lifting of the US ban on TikTok, several other Bytedance-affiliated apps remain unavailable. CapCut, Marvel Snap, and Lemon8 were among the apps affected. Meta capitalized on this situation by unveiling Edits, a free editing tool akin to CapCut, designed for smartphones. Edits, set to launch on March 13, 2025, offers a platform for content creation, trend monitoring, and enhanced camera features, challenging the likes of CapCut. As TikTok gradually returns, other banned apps, including Marvel Snap and Lemon8, await reinstatement. The future of these apps remains uncertain pending political decisions, promising a possible resurgence for the apps in the near future.
