TikTok has become one of the most popular social networks today and for this reason, its performance problems end up becoming a real headache for the user. This is what is happening to iPhone owners who can’t even open the app normally.
Since this morning, users have reported a drop in service on their mobiles, although there is a common denominator and that is that all those who are suffering from this inconvenience use an Apple smartphone. This has brought the focus of attention to the iOS 16 update of the operating system that has arrived a few days ago on the devices of the American company, so we are going to investigate the issue to see what exactly happens.
Unable to open TikTok
There are more annoying bugs than others and the one TikTok is supporting is one of the worst out there. Mainly because iPhone users cannot open the application or when they do, it freezes after a short time. This makes it impossible to enjoy the content, completely weighing down the experience of the platform.
According to the website known as Downdetector , which aims to identify reports of crashes, crashes or other aspects, the app has not worked for thousands of users since 11:00 today. The Sun media has carried out an analysis to find the source of the problem and the trigger seems to be the recent iOS 16 version of the software, but neither Apple nor TikTok have confirmed this fact.

However, the evidence is evident given that they have tried to open the application on up to three different iPhones . The first two had received the operating system update and were facing the problem that we have related above; while the last one had an older version and had no problem opening the app.
One user’s video shows TikTok opening seemingly normally, but just a second later the app closes on its own or gets stuck in the middle of the video . Without a doubt, a very problematic error that does not allow users to enjoy the service.
Is there a possible solution?
At the moment you can’t do anything other than wait, since the origin of the TikTok bug is officially unknown, but thanks to the tests carried out by The Sun we can get an idea. So the only possibility is a patch that fixes the problem, either by the app itself or directly by Apple.
Perhaps the inconvenience has to do with an incompatible version of the app, but until one of the two companies manifests itself, there is little you can do. An alternative is to go back to the previous version of the system, although it may not be worth it to you. On the other hand, Android users are not falling victim to this error, so rest assured.
