We are working on adding live status checks for this service.
Check TikTok's official channels
TikTok posts incident updates on Twitter (@TikTokSupport) and sometimes via in-app notifications during major outages.
@TikTokSupportLook for community reports
Crowd-sourced signals can confirm widespread FYP failures, upload errors, or regional blocking issues.
Downdetector reportsCheck for regional blocks
TikTok availability varies by country. Some outages are regional bans or network restrictions, not global platform issues.
TikTok outage mapCommon TikTok Issues During Outages
For You Page not loading or refreshing
Users may see blank feeds, infinite loading spinners, or stale videos that won't refresh during FYP algorithm or server issues.
Video uploads failing or stuck
Uploads may fail, get stuck at 0% or 'processing', or take hours to publish when TikTok's CDN or encoding services are degraded.
Regional blocks and VPN issues
TikTok may be blocked in certain countries or networks. VPN users may see connection errors or limited functionality.
Sound and music library issues
Audio may fail to load, sounds may be unavailable, or the music library may show errors during licensing or server issues.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume TikTok Is Down
- 1
Check your internet connection
Verify WiFi or cellular data is working. TikTok needs strong bandwidth for video streaming and uploads.
- 2
Restart the TikTok app
Force quit and relaunch TikTok. On iPhone, swipe up and close the app; on Android, use the app switcher.
- 3
Clear TikTok cache
Go to Settings > Free up space > Clear cache in TikTok. This clears temporary data without deleting drafts or favorites.
- 4
Try TikTok on web
If mobile isn't working, try tiktok.com on desktop browser. Web and mobile use different infrastructure.
- 5
Check for regional restrictions
If you're using a VPN or traveling, verify TikTok is available in your current location or network.

Check alternative networks
If TikTok is blocked on your network, try a different WiFi or cellular connection to isolate network-level blocks.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts to get notified the moment TikTok recovers from an outage.

TikTok Status FAQ
Is TikTok down right now?
Check @TikTokSupport on Twitter and Downdetector for real-time reports. If both show incidents and you can't load TikTok, it's likely down.
Why is my For You Page not loading?
This usually indicates a server-side issue or algorithm problem. Try refreshing, clearing cache, or waiting a few minutes.
Why won't my TikTok upload?
Upload failures often indicate CDN issues or high server load. Check your internet, verify file size limits, and retry later.
Is TikTok banned in my country?
TikTok availability varies by region. Check local news or use a VPN to test if it's a network-level block vs. a platform outage.
Why are TikTok sounds not working?
Sound issues may indicate licensing problems or server degradation. Try different videos — if all have audio issues, it's likely an outage.
