I enjoy making videos and watching the fyp but this app literally breaks down every other day: you can’t download your private videos, can’t reload pages, can’t like videos or can’t upload your own and before you ask no i’m not age restricted or off of wifi the app just can’t handle anything anymore. I have an iPhone 17 and most of my videos are taken with a higher resolution- well just forget it …TikTok - Videos, Shop & LIVE
it always constantly has glitches that really make the app hard to enjoy. for example once it wouldn’t let me leave the app and when i tried to swipe out it would just log me back in automatically, then it wouldn’t let me follow or like anyone’s account. and now it doesn’t let me view the caption or comments without the screen glitching which forces me to get out each time it happens if i want to …TikTok - Videos, Shop & LIVE

This is literally so bad! The features are amazing but why is almost everything blocked off if we don’t do the standard like come on CapCut I really don’t like this. I mean, we really don’t like this.? why are you so desperate like why can’t we literally use some stuff like you’re giving us barely anything in. They’re all bad features like pretty much to even slow down stuff and make it at least s…CapCut: Photo & Video Editor
I don’t know what’s going on with either my profile or it’s the app itself. When I try and edit my profile or do the “glow up”, I will pick my interests and then I can’t go forward! I can’t even go backward then either. I have to force close the app and go back in. I thought it was a fluke when I first downloaded it but it’s still happening. There’s no update so it doesn’t need that. I literally J…GroupMe

When I’m on a call with someone and I’m not even doing anything it has the audacity to report and say that I was showing inappropriate or sensitive things when I’m not, and it genuinely just causes problems when I’m on the phone. This literally makes me so aggravated. You guys genuinely need to fix it because it’s really aggravating. And it’s ruining the experience of the app.FaceTime
