As we got closer to the ban, I advised our Android readers of a way to download TikTok post-ban: sideloading. While you need to be careful doing it, sideloading lets you install apps that aren't present on official app stores, like Google's Play Store, meaning if you missed your window to download TikTok before last Saturday night, it was still available through other online sources.
As it happens, that's no longer possible. If you try to search for TikTok on APKMirror right now, you'll immediately be blocked, and see the following message:

Those apps are also barred from official app stores while the law is in effect, but APKMirror still allows you to search for and download them. As of this writing, you can download a version of CapCut last updated Jan. 22, and a version of Marvel Snap last updated Jan. 14.
The law isn't being enforced, but is that legal?
Some entities, like TikTok and the companies that host its traffic (including Oracle), clearly think Trump has the authority to delay this enforcement, and are continuing operations in the U.S. while the law is in effect. Others, like APKMirror, appear to be taking a more cautious approach—allowing downloads for certain TikTok apps, but not TikTok itself.
Whatever the case, at the moment, there appear to be few safe ways to download TikTok onto your smartphone if you didn't grab it before the ban. My advice, if you want to use the service, is to simply use the web app. It's far from ideal, especially on mobile, but it's far better than downloading a virus-riddled "TikTok" from a shady source online.
