TikTok has announced a deal allowing it to continue operating in the US.

But with the platform's future in the country seemingly secured, its 200 million American users are expected to see some changes.

A majority-American board now owns and operates a separate entity controlling TikTok in the US.

Backed by mostly US investors, the newly established TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC is governed by a board of seven directors.

TikTok chief executive Shou Zi Chew is among them, and its Chinese owner ByteDance will retain a 19.9% stake in the business.
