BBC urges staff to delete TikTok from company mobile phones

Move comes after UK government bans app on government devices over fears of data being accessed by Chinese state

The BBC has urged its staff to delete the Chinese-own social media app TikTok from corporate mobile phones.

Guidance to BBC staff circulated on Sunday said: “We don’t recommend installing TikTok on a BBC corporate device unless there is a justified business reason. If you do not need TikTok for business reasons, TikTok should be deleted.”
