Popular video app TikTop has crashed leaving millions of users unable to access the social media video service.
TikTok is a social media app that took the world by storm, with a broad assortment of 15 to 60-second clips for every genre; whether that be a comedy, baking or even maths help.
According to Mirror.co.uk, there were issues on Android and iPhones phones causing technical problems for users. It seems the ‘like’ function on videos is completely bust – meaning people are seeing zero likes on their videos.
But it’s not because you are unpopular – there’s a problem with the app.
TikTok reacts on Twitter: “Hi TikTok community! We’re aware that some users are experiencing app issues – working to quickly fix things, and we’ll share updates here!”
Down Detector, an independent website which monitors cuts in online services, has registered a spike in ‘TikTok down’ reports, from 2pm Wednesday July 9th.
It shows as much as 88 per cent of users of the video sharing app are seeing problems with video content. Other users report being unable to upload footage.
People are affected across the UK, the US and Europe.
It has sparked rumours that TikTok may be gone for good, as there have been rumours in the past that the app will one day close down.
The Chinese-owned firm has come under fire as some consider it a threat to national security in the US.
US Secratary of State Mike Pompeo said the US was “looking into” banning TikTok, on Monday.
He said he was looking into claims he app collects users’ cellphone data and then shares the information directly with Beijing.
With over one billion users around the world, TikTok is without a doubt one of the most popular social media apps at the moment.
Happens all the time… it’s technology.
