TikTok faced a widespread outage on Thursday, with thousands of users reporting issues accessing the app. According to Downdetector, over 33,000 outage reports were logged in the US alone, with issues beginning around 4 pm (US time) and peaking by 4:30 pm. Many users complained on X (formerly Twitter) that videos weren’t loading or the app wasn’t responding due to apparent server connection problems. By 5:30 pm, outage reports had dropped to around 13,000. TikTok has not yet released an official statement, and none of its main X accounts had addressed the disruption as of 6:15 pm. The platform currently has an estimated 2 billion users worldwide. TikTok Shutdown in US: ByteDance-Owned App Ban Results in 911 Calls Surge As Panic Grips Among Teens and Children.
