TikTok acknowledged reports of many users in the United States experiencing problems with the app, and confirmed these issues are connected to a problem at an Oracle data center.

The company said the issue was tied to Oracle and that work was underway to restore normal service.
TikTok links outages to Oracle data center issue
TikTok announced on X (formerly Twitter) that some users in the U.S. are experiencing issues because of a problem with an Oracle data center.
Some creators might have trouble posting right now while we fix a technical issue. Thanks for your patience, and we’ll let you know when it’s resolved.
So, I was playing online and noticed some serious lag, and it looks like Oracle Cloud had some issues. They posted that over the last four hours, some players – I mean, customers – were getting disconnected, seeing errors, and just generally experiencing really slow connections in the Ashburn region. They said they’re on it and trying to fix everything as fast as possible.
Oracle reported that some cloud customers were experiencing issues, including slower response times and difficulty connecting to services.
Some TikTok users in the U.S. might have trouble posting videos right now due to a problem at an Oracle data center. Oracle is working to fix it, and we’ll let you know when everything is back to normal. Thanks for bearing with us!
