I'm hearing on tiktok that if you update ios until they figure out what is going on with the ban you will lose access to it. Is this really true?

In fact, I find it pretty inaccessible so I never bothered to try to use it again.

Only if you do not have it and try to get it. Apple took it out from the app store for now. It suppose to work if you already have it. No updates or bugs fixes on the app.

Apple only remove apps if there is a significant risk to the security of your device or if it's an outright scam, it's a last resort. Presently the ban has theoretically been put on hold, the app stores in the broader sense have requested reassurances they won't later be punished for breaching the ban if they continue to provide it via the app store. No such promises have been forthcoming so the app remains removed in the US.
