TikTok is crashing for iPhone users, so users of the iOS device took to Twitter to demand answers. According to Down Detector, reports of TikTok being down spiked about 5:20 a.m. ET.Â
“My TikTok kept crashing immediately every time I open the app,” an iPhone owner shared on the Down Detector site, and unfortunately, many others shared the same experience. Some complained that the app was stuck on a loading screen. Fortunately, the mysterious bug was fixed, but the video-sharing app continues to be hush-hush about what caused the crash.
Why was TikTok crashing on iPhones?
Many assume that the issue was caused by the iOS 16 upgrade, however as previously said, TikTok has yet to disclose the cause of crash gate.
How could an iOS update impair an app’s performance?
As developers make improvements to the platform, they unintentionally produce discordance in the app because their changes are in some way incompatible with or supported by the iOS upgrade.
If you experience an app repeatedly crashing, here are some things you can do to rectify the issue:
- Reboot your iPhone
- Delete the app and reinstall it
- Update the app to the latest version
- Clear the app’s cache
According to Down Detector’s status report, 27,000 TikTok users were affected by the TikTok app’s mysterious bug. Laptop Mag reached out to TikTok for comment, but we have not received a reply yet (we will update this article when we do).
