This afternoon, for a while, many people get a message saying that there is “no internet connection” while trying to view their For You page in the TikTok app. After an outage that lasted from 1:25 PM ET to approximately 1:45 PM ET, everything appears to be working again.
We haven’t seen an update from TikTok about the outage yet, but as it happened it was widespread, with tracker Down detector identifying over 75,000 reports of the issue. Global internet connectivity monitor NetBlocks also weighed in on the outage, noting that TikTok had been disconnected internationally, with no sign of country-level filtering of the oft-criticized app.
Update Nov. 4, 2:00 PM ET: Updated to note that TikTok is back online.
