On September 15, Down Detector reported that the video hosting service kept crashing when people tried to open and access it. Down Detector is a website used to monitor internet outages. Reports of the app crashing started appearing at around 10 am when the website saw more than 6000 complaints about TikTok within minutes. The app kept crashing for thousands of users. (Image via Jakub Porzycki/Getty) As per the user reports, the issues arising with the social media platform pertain to its phone app. Several reports allege that the app is crashing or is abruptly going down. As per an experiment conducted by The Sun, the video-sharing app may be having an issue after Apple released the latest iOS 16 update. However, neither company has commented on this. The publication tried using the app on two iPhones with the iOS16 update, which crashed, but it seemingly worked fine on the third phone with an older software version. Twitter reacts to TikTok crashing down abruptly After the popular video sharing platform started crashing down for thousands, several users shifted to Twitter to report their annoyance. However, they used several hilarious memes to showcase their emotions, which led to #TikTokdown trend on Twitter. kait xx@Leahhhhd99Me realising my life evolves around tiktok now it’s down #tiktokdown142952075Me realising my life evolves around tiktok now it’s down #tiktokdown https://t.co/GZzXdSBFmc HOBIPALOOZA wife⁷@MoniqueRod19everyone coming straight to twitter after their tiktok keeps crashing #tiktokdown100871397everyone coming straight to twitter after their tiktok keeps crashing #tiktokdown https://t.co/VSMQBmL2UQ Arinn@Arinn900Me: opens tiktok and watches it close on me for the 10th time #tiktokdown2607222Me: opens tiktok and watches it close on me for the 10th time #tiktokdown https://t.co/SMFcauzYOA benthompson7@benthompson73Leaked footage of me running to Twitter to see if everyone else’s tiktok is crashing too: #tiktokdown5979585Leaked footage of me running to Twitter to see if everyone else’s tiktok is crashing too: #tiktokdown https://t.co/SqSmEYpobS Em @Mily_xoxstarted watching Instagram reels just to feel something. #tiktokdown #TikTok3613387started watching Instagram reels just to feel something. #tiktokdown #TikTok https://t.co/yHxfH10hJ7 Khadifcy@khadifcyMe running to tweeter to confirm if its only my Tiktok glitching #tiktokdown #TikTok1909197Me running to tweeter to confirm if its only my Tiktok glitching #tiktokdown #TikTok https://t.co/nUt6kRBNgE xo@xoxoxocbUs running to twitter after our tiktok app crashing #tiktokdown1478141Us running to twitter after our tiktok app crashing #tiktokdown https://t.co/bfCXPk7zgP ɢʀᴀᴄᴇ ?@imabluebuterflii never realized how much i love and rely on tiktok until now#tiktokdown119086i never realized how much i love and rely on tiktok until now#tiktokdown https://t.co/5pYAdfQZNN ad1tyx ?@ad1tyyxTik Tok headquarters rn like #TikTokdown33929Tik Tok headquarters rn like #TikTokdown https://t.co/jVmOo9womh trap.glizzy@trap_glizzyyI’m forced to go to sleep now!!! #tiktokdown69157I’m forced to go to sleep now!!! #tiktokdown https://t.co/shgPg4ZWX3 ??????????@shellymurrellxome force closing tiktok, deleting the app and reinstalling, then restarting my phone to then seeing this tag #tiktokdown43828me force closing tiktok, deleting the app and reinstalling, then restarting my phone to then seeing this tag #tiktokdown https://t.co/iEwPqYf2Cz CODEINE COWBOY ??@DRAYBEOKAYMe rushing on Twitter to see that I'm not the only one with the TikTok crashing problem #TikTokDown1548125Me rushing on Twitter to see that I'm not the only one with the TikTok crashing problem #TikTokDown https://t.co/pjTdfN3nzD yeyo ?@alonediegome rn bc tiktok isn’t working #tiktokdown59931me rn bc tiktok isn’t working #tiktokdown https://t.co/4XIC9manYB Angel@virgoatangeli knew my tiktok addiction was bad when i restarted my phone and everything and then zoomed to twitter. #tiktokdown #tiktok45646i knew my tiktok addiction was bad when i restarted my phone and everything and then zoomed to twitter. #tiktokdown #tiktok https://t.co/qr8KMdHf91 syd !@SYDYELTONmy tiktok every time i try to open it #tiktokdown14714my tiktok every time i try to open it #tiktokdown https://t.co/edwY2nhn6H While some called Twitter and Spotify the only two apps that "didn't let me down," others were left wondering what they would do at 3 am if the video sharing app was down.
