One person familiar with the matter said senior Amazon executives were unaware of the request to delete TikTok from employee devices. The ban was reversed after TikTok and Amazon representatives discussed the matter, according to an email sent to TikTok employees. Earlier this week, Wells Fargo sent a note to employees who had installed TikTok on company-owned mobile devices telling them to remove the app immediately. One person familiar with the matter said TikTok’s user data is primarily stored in the Google Cloud in its Virginia-based data center. Some firms providing security services to big companies have added TikTok to their lists of banned apps on managed devices.
