Testing to see if TikTok is down, we could open the app on an iPhone, but things started to go wrong from there.

TikTok users are also complaining about getting logged out without notice.
TikTok stars like Charli D'amelio have zero followers
One of the biggest concerns with TikTok right now is among its most famous accounts. They suddenly have no followers associated with their accounts. The biggest TikTok star, Charli D'amelio, has zero followers and likes. She is following nobody, according to the glitchy app.
TikTok seems to be the only one dancing around the subject right now, offering no response on its other social media channels. Its official Twitter account, for example, is silent about the outage right now, though plenty of users are replying to its test tweet about the app being down. So far, no official response from TikTok.
