If you’re trying to access TikTok and can’t log in tonight then you are definitely not alone. The hugely popular chat and video app is down right now with thousands of reports flooding in from across the world and the social media company now confirming there is a serious problem. The outage began at around 8.30pm with many users left angry as they are unable to access their accounts with others reporting that all of their followers have suddenly disappeared. Independent monitor Down Detector, which monitors online outages, has registered a huge spike in TikTok down reports while users have also reported issues in droves on Twitter.
The Down Detector outage map says the TikTok issues are affecting users in the UK and large parts of Europe with one user posting a message on the forum page saying: “TikTok is down can’t login and seeing 0 followers and 0 likes on my accounts.”
Another added: “So I have to change my username??? And have 0 following, 0 followers, 0 likes??”
Along with plenty of comments on Down Detector, TikTok fans have also flooded Twitter with complaints.
One tweet said: “TikTok seems down because mine won’t let me see comments, likes or anything.”
Whilst another posted a message saying: “Looks like TikTok is down showing 0 followers & 0 videos and likes where is it all gone can we get them back @tiktok_uk.”
There’s currently no word on what is causing the gremlins or when things will be fixed but TikTok has now confirmed the issue with the support team saying they are working on a fix.
In a post on Twitter, TikTok said: “The TikTok app is currently experiencing some issues, which our team is working quickly to address. Thank you for your patience!”
This isn’t the first time this year that TikTok users have been left unable to access their accounts or lose their followers. Back in May, a very similar issue hit the service with the App telling users that they had 0 TikTok followers.
The good news is, that issue corrected itself after everything returned to normal so hopefully the same will happen after tonight’s outage.
