But if yours has disappeared, don’t despair, as there are a few different fixes you can try.
Restart the app
Start by restarting the app.
The old “turn it on and off again” technique sounds like an obvious one, but it’s a go-to tech fix for a reason.
Doing so refreshes your phone and you may find that it’s no longer an issue when you re-open it.
Check the servers
If restarting the app didn’t do the trick, you can always check the servers.
Search whether TikTok servers are down online, as you may need to wait until they’re back up.
Update the app
It could be that your app is simply out of date and could do with an update.
Updates often include fixes for known bugs within apps.
