If a user was to download TikTok from the App Store, the app will not show in home screen, when the user does try to open it, they will get this message.
The iOS device willl become non-compliant, this will then require IT to remove the app from the device.
Go to https://intune.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_Intune_DeviceSettings/AppsIosMenu/~/iosApps then select Add > iOS Store App > search for TikTok then set as uninstall.
Once the device has received the uninstalled, re-run Company Portal on the iOS, then it will become Compliant.
