If you can’t pull up TikTok to zone out for a few minutes, it’s not your internet connection — the app is suffering from a worldwide outage. While the service is accessible for us from a desktop web browser, many people get a message that there’s “no internet connection” while trying to browse their For You page inside the TikTok app.
We haven’t seen an update from TikTok about the outage yet, but it appears to be widespread, with tracker Downdetector identifying more than 75,000 reports of the issue. Global internet connectivity monitor NetBlocks also weighed in on the outage, noting that TikTok is down internationally, with no sign of country-level filtering of the oft-criticized app.
