TikTok reports 'major infrastructure issue' causing app glitches, bugs

TikTok acknowledged a “major infrastructure issue” linked to a power outage at a US data center that caused various app malfunctions, including depersonalized For You pages, upload failures, slower load times, timeouts, and temporary zeroed view/like counters. Users reported loops of the same videos and content in unexpected languages, while DownDetector saw a spike in problem reports. The disruption coincided with changes in TikTok’s ownership structure and updates to terms and privacy policies.
