India is TikTok's largest market. The country banned the popular app along with several dozen other Chinese-owned apps over security concerns. 

Earlier this week, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the United States is also looking into banning TikTok.

The United States and India may have evidence regarding security concerns, but they have not yet been released.
