Catered education, entertainment, and activism

TikTok for myself is first and foremost an entertainment app. What’s amazing about it is how it’s algorithm will personally cater your feed to your interests and inevitably lead you to educational content that you are genuinely interested in and want to know more about. With plenty of opportunities to go down any rabbit hole you receive well paced breaks from related content and even have moments when the app, get this, suggests you take a break and come back later. What started as an app teaching an entire generation how to express themselves in dance has turned into self help, political activism, crowd funding, mental health care, and an amazing fluid way to transfer ideas and of course the most amazing pet and animal videos that will take you on a well regulated entertainment journey. Thank you for your contributions to supporting the LGBTQIA and minority communities via your app and for promoting a more worldly perspective. We are all on this one planet together and I hope Tik-Tok can help us all band together to protect it, educate ourselves, and share ourselves and our ideas with each other! Truly this is my favorite app on my phone and I encourage everyone to take advantage of this amazing algorithm! Find your people and follow your curiosities!

it’s okay.

i’ve just downloaded tiktok again because it wouldn’t let me log in even though all my information was correct. i researched online to see what the problem with logging in was, and the top statement was to delete it, so i did. i tried doing that about 3 times in a row and it still kept saying “unable to authorize”. at this point, i just restart my phone and after that it logs me in my account. the problem now is that when i want to search, watch videos, create tiktoks, the app always says “no internet connection” or “no network connection” and i’m super annoyed by this because i’ve tried turning my phone on and off, i tried turning my WiFi on and off, i tried having my cellular WiFi on, and yet, no luck. i research about it more, and it says to delete the app or update it. i cant update it because it already is, so i delete the app. i tried over 3 times to log in, and i finally do. the super big problem is that i cant watch or do anything because of my “internet” causing this problem. although, my ipad has tiktok and is connected to the same account information, WiFi, and everything and it works great. i can search for this on tiktok fine, i can choose sounds fine, i can make tiktok’s fine, but on my iphone i cannot. anyone let me know if you have any tips or tricks i can do to solve this problem without me having to delete the app. :)

Tik Tok went down hill.

I’ve used this app for 3 years now, and I can tell you that the algorithm has gradually became so stagnant. But that’s the way the developers want it, and I’ll explain. You post a video, you will get a couple hundred views, and about a guaranteed 10% likes. The algorithm is pushing your content to people that don’t care to see what you post. They want us to use hashtags, and many have millions of views, but we only get a couple hundred at best? They’re purposely hold you back unless you pay yo promote your videos. I would if I was promoting product, for marketing reasons. It’s turning into a shopping app, rather than what it started out as. The algorithm based off your likes and content you want to see also gets stagnant. You will see the same things over and over, like one video, they shove a creator in your face a few more times within 10 videos.. it’s just odd. You can’t quite discover new or be discovered like you use to. I also love the hypocrisy of their “community guidelines”.. if you tell someone to go F themselves, because they’re bullying you and saying mean things. Hurtful things. It doesn’t matter. If they report you first their provocation leading up to them crying and reporting me, is justified, allowed, and protected. This has happened a few times. Bullying is allowed on this app. Don’t be fooled. My time on this app is most likely going to end soon. It’s becoming like the rest. A boring, growth stunting, cesspool.

The app is astounding, but...

I love TikTok; it is one of my favorite apps. However, TikTok randomly asked me to confirm my age, for some reason (which wouldn’t normally bother me because I had already confirmed it before), so I confirmed my age. I put in my real date of birth (I’m 13 years old) and TikTok made my account private, made it to where people are unable to duet, stitch, or download my videos, and I can neither send nor receive messages. I completely understand that TikTok doesn’t want young children to get access to the app and post videos with their face or make unintelligent choices, but I have not done anything against TikTok’s policies or spread any negative energy. I am unable to send videos and messages to my friends or receive videos and messages from my friends. This has also happened to one of my old friends; someone reported him for being under the age limit (he is 13 years old) and TikTok private’s his account. I completely understand if you want people who are 13 years of age or younger to have privacy and not share personal information, but it doesn’t make sense that there are only some people (around 13 years old) that are being forced to have their accounts private’s when others do not also have to go through this. Thank you for taking the time to read this (I will change my star-rating to a 5/5 stars if this issue is fixed).

Review Erased?

I did submit a review and I never did see it pop up on here and then I looked again and saw it was gone. I have been waiting a couple days now since my life was banned. The reason they banned me was far from the truth as I do not drink and I do not smoke and I do not have any artillery. It seems that you were guilty until proven innocent and they really don’t respond to you whenever you submit anything to support and asked to know why or what happened so you know what it was. People can have a vendetta against you or they can feel threatened and then just report you and then you’re just shut down. This happened to me two Sundays ago and then it was removed and seeing that nothing was done on my part and then sure enough another week rolls around and on another Sunday the same thing happened and now it has taken days on the appeal. There needs to be a better process and I don’t think that it’s fair. I do think that TikTok is an excellent platform but they really need to work on customer service and personal interaction. I do agree with one review that I saw on here, where they said that they believe that if they don’t like you for whatever reason whether it is personal parents or whether you’re able to entertain the executives; or whether you’re able to bring in money, then this happens quite often until you are completely banned forever. What is society. What a horrible society.

Honestly helped my mental health

This might sound silly but the FYP really is for YOU. Once I realized I was in a bad headspace and started working on myself as a person all together, I got on positive side of tiktok. So many down to earth people making content that not only helps me but others. So many comments “I needed this today” I know most people see tiktok as some dancing joking app but it genuinely has helped me feel less alone, gave me more ideas to further myself mentally, emotionally, spiritually. I feel more in touch with my true self than I ever have and I am honestly so grateful for this platform. The fact I am able to see every day people just like me talk about their vulnerable moments and that I am able to share content that I create. Yes it can be hard sometimes to get off the app because there is so much content that is wonderful to see but I believe there is an option to put a limit for yourself so you don’t spend too much of your day on here. I never thought I’d be writing a review for any app but I really do wanna put it out there this app is not just for jokes or dancing, although if you’re interested in that stuff I’m positive it’s on there for you. There’s something for everyone on Tiktok regardless of who you are.

People are amazing

I discovered TikTok during quarantine…. At first I watched “funny videos” about puppies. But it very quickly became a tool to learn. Political events, BLM, covid etc. I feel like it was the first time I could understand and see what people were actually going through. It helped me navigate my emotions and figure out how I could contribute to the world… our country…. My neighbors. It’s taught me what truth looks like and how untruthful the powers that be are. My grout lines are immaculate, I fixed my dryer, learned a ton of new recipes,learned that I’m not the only one fascinated with zit popping. I watched soooo many people become their creative selves, become stronger, teach and most importantly grow. I believe that TikTok has created a true sense of community….at least the start of one. I’m still bothered that the mediators take down content from creators simply because haters report it. There has got to be a better way for you guys to see what true bullying is. Please don’t silence the people that are trying to make the world better, educate us and respectfully show us our truth….science based truth…. Historical truth…. Social truth. They are the ones that will make this world a better place for all of us…. And the earth. I am so thankful for the platform.❤️🌞🌎

So Frustrating/Rigged

I Love this App for many reasons, one of them being my ability to creat art! But I have been on the app since it was Musically (over 4 years now). I’m Almost Positive that the app is rigged to only push sexually explicit content, already famous people’s content, or people who have money to pay for their content to be pushed. The app is high school popularity in virtual form. There are so many deserving creators that go unseen on the app including me. I have practically worked two full time jobs trying to create original content that actually means something & constantly go unseen on the FYP, & cannot build my account! No matter how many tips & tricks you follow on this app you won’t go anywhere unless you can meet TikTok’s popularity standards! At this point it makes me wanna rid of the app all together & bring all my friends & family that joined because of my referral with me! Big accounts get bigger for doing nothing while small creators work their back sides off to wow people just to find out Tiktok is never gonna let any of your content go viral. Doesn’t matter how inspirational, kind, or creative it is! If you are drop dead beautiful, have money, or post half naked stuff. Tiktok will not push your content. I have wasted three years & I highly suggest no one else starts if your time and energy matter to you! Luck of the draw my a$$$

YES

It’s perfect ✨ there are some people who DJ cosplay, people who do history, people who do science things! There’s lots of fun stuff, my mom is on the burlesque side of tiktok, she doesn’t go on it a lot but I think some things make her happy which makes me happy! So, there is one disappointing thing, that is live’s. You can’t go live unless your sixteen and have 1000 followers. And sometimes if you see someone’s profile which is live and you click on it, it has already ended. Also there are adds but you can scroll away from them so I don’t think they’re a big deal. There are people from all over the world and make lots of different types of content, it’s so easy to watch a lot of tiktok but you can’t sit at on your phone forever lol. It used to be a struggle to get off of tiktok because I was addicted but I’ve gotten over that struggle. Oh, there’s another thing I find annoying, every once in a while there will be a video made by tiktok and it’s things like “hold up, you’ve been scrolling for way to long” etc. and they can get annoying. That’s pretty much it. There’s emo tiktok there’s slime tiktok there’s gacha tiktok there’s plant tiktok there’s animal tiktok etc. HAVE FUN WATCHING IF YOU DECIDE TO GET TIKTOK!!! Have a great day/night/afternoon/morning!! BYEEE

Great for content creators but….

Great platform to grow on. Their algorithm works well to reach audiences that want to follow and like your content but… their review process is very annoying. I do motorcycle content (@_OtherAdam_) safety content and funny skits but they seem to hate motorcycles and always flag my videos. My last video didn’t even have a reason, it just said community guidelines. I have tested their review process and I guess it depends on the person that gets to see judge your video and their views. For example it’s as if my videos often fall on the desk of a reviewer that hates motorcycles so they are just inclined to deamplify my video. So when I upload the same video twice. One will get removed because someone who reviewed it thought it was dangerous and the other one will go viral because someone reviewed it and didn’t feel it was dangerous. I’ve been dealing with this for 2 years on TikTok and have 230k followers so I’ve had time to come up with these conclusions. It has to be the only explanation since their customer service is non existent and you’re completely unable to get a hold of anyone regarding a issue. Other then that, it’s a great platform for going viral and most likely the best place to start if you want to be a content creator. TikTok please fix your review process. It’s terrible.

Community guidelines.

I enjoy scrolling though TikTok. It’s fun and gives me something to do. But I enjoy posting edits I create. I had posted a video, with a single photo of a gun. It took it down for “minor safety” for this I understand. As I look young for my age. And you could not see my dad. But in the state I live in I am above age l have been shooting with my dad for about 2 years now. And have posted a few videos with me shooting. After this video got taken down I reposted it. And made another one with me shooting and that only. This was in December 2021. It has not been taken down since. Then 2 days ago I got I made another video with me and my friend. And got taken down for “minor safety” now both my friend and my dad suggested that it was due to the last 2 photos being in our bathing suits. And I agreed. Although I had zoomed in for that reason. To where it almost looks like a regular shirt or a tank top. I ended up getting temporarily banned from posting. I then saw I could post again. And so I reposted the video. It got taken down again. I can’t post till tomorrow. I plan on reposting it. If it gets taken down again I’ll repost it again. I’m not going to take down my art because “TikTok says shoulders are not allowed” this isn’t elementary. So stop. I still enjoy TikTok but this is getting annoying. I hope TikTok can fix their community guidelines.

I’m having many problems

I’ve had tik tok for about a year now, and it’s one of my favorite apps. It’s got some major issues though. First of all, I don’t have a post button. Where it says drafts, there is just one button, and that’s to add the video to your drafts. I have looked up videos on where it is, because I guess I just don’t have one. I have put a lot of work into making tik toks, but I can’t even post them. Please at least tell me why this is happening, or if I’m just being dumb, tell me. Second of all, whenever I try to search ANYTHING, literally anything, it says “sorry this feature is currently unavailable” and I can’t search up anything AT ALL! It’s just super anoying, again just tell me if I’m being dumb, but I don’t think I am. Also it’s the same thing for writing comments :/ Third of all, I DONT HAVE A “FOR YOU” PAGE!!! I enjoy watching tik toks that are related to the ones that I already enjoy. But I still, have looked through the entire app, but I don’t have a for you page. Please try and fix these issues, because I think that they ruin almost the entire experience for me. (Also I have an iPhone 6s so if that’s something that effects the way that the app works, sorry about that, but I mean idk)

Thoughts

I love watching TIKTOK It is very enjoyable to me. I don’t participate in lots of plat forms but I enjoy watching. The ones I d participate in is always fun. We have some very nice people on here and lots of very rud ones also. I am on here to met people from all over and love to watch the different things such cooking, giving advice, make up, doing, hair, and just have fun. Their are plenty of things to watch so if you don’t like something that you see just scroll on by. That is what I can’t understand is why many people can’t understand that. My favorite thing to watch is the elderly people who are having dementia . It is sad but very interesting how their mind works and how the caregivers can handle them. They are so cute and blessed to have family to take care of them. I would like to thank the makers of TicTok for having this so we can have something to enjoy. I am a widower and I watch this instead of TV and get so much enjoyment out of it. Their a few things that seem a little unfair at times but I don’t know the whole story so I can’t know who is right or wrong. There are so very riska things on here but I just watch what I want and keep scrolling. Thanks again for giving us some entertainment that we can enjoy. Silent watcher

It’s good, but please fix this.

First of all, if I worked for TikTok, I would actually take down videos that need to be taken down because you know how that one dog got ripped up by a pitbull and that took over a month to get taken down, yetMy cousin made a video with my brother doing a dance and on my cousins birthday a.k.a. March 9 the video got taken down after like eight months for grooming which she never did, my cousin was just doing a dance with my brother because they both like what the sound was and yet it was weird how almost every account got banned on March 9 that was not verified like my account with almost 1000 followers got banned for no reason, I was at like 960 followers, please fix this, also, whenever I updated my TikTok today, I thought it would give me like a tag people option but it didn’t. They changed my inbox, removed the favorites button and moved it with the other things like private vids, and liked vids. But they also switched the liked videos and private videos, and I honestly liked the stories and they got rid of it. In one of my captions, I said “TikTok can you please remove the inbox update but keep the stories because I like that?” But they did the complete opposite for me, please just fix this.

I love it!!!

Tiktok is my number one reliance when I’m sad, happy, curious, or wanting to see what my friends are doing. Tiktok is so fun to use and I love making videos!! Tiktok has made me realize the good in everything! And there’s LOTS of content on tiktok, you can even choose what you watch! By adding a video to your favorites, you can save it and watch it again! Same for you liked videos! When you follow someone, you can see their videos! If you’ve made a video and don’t want to post it yet, or you want to edit it/save it for later/finish the video later on, you can save it to your drafts! The only person who can see it is you! If you don’t feel comfortable with everyone seeing your posts, you can set your account to private and only your followers can see your posts. You can make a profile picture, a bio to share a bit about yourself, and follow your friends! When you’re confused about a trend, you can click the search button and look it up! You can make audios, videos, live-streams, and more! I think tiktok is suitable for anyone above the age of 10, but that depends on parent options of course! Tiktok is a great app, and I think you’ll enjoy it too! GET TIKTOK!!! 💗🫶 thank you for everything, creators!

Drafts Button

I love this app. I think it’s a great way to connect with people of similar interests and create a unifying experience for everyone. I’ve always thought of the app as very easy to use and accessible to all people (especially with the captions added to the app), but the new update that caused the drafts button to shrink has been a big problem to many creators. People are fond of their privacy, yet they still love the idea of making videos. This leads to many creators making little cringy videos that they would then just save to their drafts to post later or to just save the sound. Many have that muscle memory of just automatically clicking the middle of the drafts button, but because of this new update, they have been accidentally posting their drafts. Not only is this a nuisance to mentally check every time that you are not posting a draft, but it can be very compromising to creators who need videos to be only saved in their drafts, away from their followers. These people would be minors or others who are uncomfortable with their face being public, Islamic women who like making videos with their hair but cannot show their hair to the public for religious reasons, and others who make videos for themselves and not for the public eye. This new update has caused a lot of frustration in the community and as an enjoyer of this app, I, and the whole community, would please like it if the drafts button was changed to its original size.

Tik tok is the best social media app period!!!

Tik tok is so authentic to the point that it started to make Instagram look bad. Everyone on Instagram always tries to be perfect and fit into society so they can be accepted and not feel alone or like a misfit. Whereas TikTok shows the REAL side. People looking however they looking. Saying whatever they feeling with out out it becoming an unsafe social environment(aka bullying etc). It’s a safe place for me to have fun laugh and share the joy with my family and friends. additionally it’s even more informative than any other social media platform for example at first I was a little confused about what is going on between Ukraine and Russia and Instagram mislead me into thinking America was going into war with Russia through memes, videos etc however I was able to learn more than I ever did through 30 second accurate and precise tik tok videos and even help my friends understand better and correct any misconceptions. I feel as though social media needs more of the real side to people instead of creating a false narrative of what we as regular human beings should abide by in order to be considered apart of the norm I can only speak for myself but I feel as though a lot of people would relate Peace and love

Trash app permanent ban for no reason

I loved this app until recently I ran into complications. One day I say a video and thought it was funny and shared it to my friends. Didn’t realize that none of them were being sent and it was because it was saying that every time I sent a message that it was violating the community guidelines. I even sent the letter “O” and told my girlfriend “I love you” and those were immediately taken down too. I did an appeal and they all came back and said it was a mistake. Then it would happen again. Today I went to log into TikTok bc for whatever reason I was logged out and it said that my account was permanently banned because of multiple violations of community guidelines. This is me coming back for being inactive for several days and just and apparently it banned me just for logging back into the app bc I wasn’t banned according to my girlfriend and my emails until I logged in again. Never have been banned before but yeah permaban right out of the get go and the best part is that it didn’t even give me the option to appeal just let me request to download my data whatever that means. So yeah years of memories down the drain bc of that dumb bug. Trash app. Unless I get my data back I’m never using it again because that’s a waste what’s to stop it from happening again anyways? I’m not the first and they didn’t get their accounts back either and apparently they never even got called back just ignored so yeah I’m done.

Not for anyone under the age of 16. Do NOT let your kids on here.

As a 21 year old I honestly enjoy this app, I’ve been using it since I was in high school. It can be great entertainment and a great place to learn about different things and topics. HOWEVER the biggest issue I have with this app is nudity. I have seen probably 20 videos where men had their penis in full view or slightly out of view in the last 2 months. And they do NOTHING about it. I’ve reported so many videos and they always say it “doesn’t violate guidelines” and you can’t get them to reconsider. You can’t write anything to help them know what the report is exactly about to help them see the issue, if it isn’t in full view right at the front of the video they don’t care. It’s honestly infuriating. It’s actually insane. They aren’t even hidden well, any person with eyes can see it but they just don’t care! It’s disgusting. The videos will get mass reported and called out for the nudity and nothing happens! They say this app is for 12+ and you can’t have an account if you aren’t at least 13 but that’s not fool proof. And even then 13, 14 and 15 year olds shouldn’t be seeing that. It’s disgusting. Their team is extremely lazy and terrible moderators. Don’t let your kids on here for their own safety. Not to mention all the pedos, I know they can’t necessarily do anything about that. Don’t let your kids post and don’t let them use the app.

Good app, but somethings could change

Overall Tiktok is a really good app in general, however there are just some minor bugs that are pretty annoying. For example sometimes the audio just starts glitching and sounding staticky if you’re recording a video. Another thing is that recently my videos have been delayed after i post them. So i would assume it’s airpods delay however all my videos are delayed now and that’s including ones i posted months ago. Also there are a few things that could make the app better like, when you stitch a video instead of the audio not carrying over, you can have a choice on whether you want to continue it or not. I feel that it would be more efficient and a lot easier if you want to finish an old transition you posted or anything else you might need. I also personally liked the old drafts layout, but it’s fine as is. Another problem is when you’re watching a video and a text or something may be covered by a profile or the caption or anything else on the side, it’s hard to see or read anything so I feel there should be a feature where you can swipe to the left and all those buttons would go away sort of like how it is on a live stream. That’s all I have for now, but Tiktok is a really fun and enjoyable app.

Please don’t overuse this app

I’ve had this app for over 4 years and it’s been a problem, most of the community on this app pushes this mentally ill mindset and I know some people can just ignore it but it’s EVERYWHERE. When you see that stuff so much for that long it starts to get to you. TikTok has changed my generation so much, (hear me out I know this sounds like something your grandpa would say), there’s just something wrong with all of us, I think it is because TikTok is so addictive. The short videos on this app make our patience way shorter, and our attention span. The addiction of TikTok keeps you on your phone 24/7, when you are addicted to something you put it above all else, even other human beings, real people with feelings. I’m not making this up, I am seeing it happen to people I know, I’ve seen this generation get meaner and meaner everyday, it could be because of the mental illness trends or the selfishness the addictions push. And the terrible racist algorithm is another reason people are so upset on TikTok, POC creators are getting banned way more than white creators are, and POC creators barely get any reach. In conclusion, please don’t overuse this app, it’s very easy to get addicted to so I suggest not getting it at all.

Well…

The app is ok. Definitely has potential to be a great marketing tool EXCEPT for the fact that it upholds a racist infrastructure. White content creators often are allowed to be blatantly racist and spew *actual* racist propaganda and slurs while Black, Indigenous and other POC communities have to walk on egg shells just to keep their accounts from being flagged or banned. Also, the apps algorithm allows white creators to flourish while actively suppressing Black creators’ content. This creates a disparity when it comes to money to be made because more often Black CCs set the most popular trends and receive little to no recognition from the app or other non-Black, specifically white CCs—especially after the trend/sound has become viral. There is also the apps (those who work for/regulate) involvement in the conspiracy to suppress historical and currently relevant information. It does a great job at censorship. If it were not for the app taking constant punitive measures against anything Black and POC CCs make that doesnt directly uplift & support white supremacy and comfort, then this would be a cool place to be. Right now, theres a Black woman follow train trend happening. Not only are we seeing the vitriol from angry white women who are offended they werent centered in a Black space (shocker), we are also experiencing delays and outright deletion when requesting or accepting our Sisters. Do better Tik Tok!!

What i think

I really enjoy TikTok but I don’t think tiktoks looks into the violations too much. They just take down your video you get the shadow band and then your content don’t go nowhere. They don’t push it out then you appeal it you win. They put the video back up, but it’s too late by then that’s one thing I cannot stand and not right about TikTok. I think they have a computer, checking the violations and people just violate just to get back at people not to actually violate for a reason, I got violated for posting a review on pop daddy pretzels. They said that I was had alcohol drugs involved and I did not. It was just about a bag of pretzels that they sell on TikTok so they took it down. then I appealed it. I won because there was no drugs or alcohol in the video. It was just a bag of pretzels and what I thought it taste like now. Now I have 8000 followers and my videos are only getting 20 to 10 views. This is unprofessional and you need to do better TikTok other than that app is you fun you can make money on it and you can find out how to do things on it. You learn a lot, but if you don’t have accounts TikTok, then you don’t have TikTok so remember our accounts is what keeps you guys going so you should do a little bit better

I’ve had this app for three years now, and one thing that remains consistent is how every update has made the app worse in one way or another. In one of the latest updates, the ability to search up videos was removed, and I just don’t see this benefitting anyone or anything. How does this make the app better? How is this improving the app? How can I feel comfortable updating this app when it’s highly probable I’ll end up regretting it, and the odds are NOT in my favor?? After discovering this feature was removed, I went to the App Store and saw that there was another update available. Thinking this would fix the issue and very poor choice on the devs’ behalf, I updated the app. Opened it and the format is completely ruined. There is now a seemingly pointless dislike button attached to each comment and ruining the formatting of the comments, the favorites button is now taking up an unnecessary amount of room on the screen, and there is a new “Friends” tab on the bottom of the screen that just isn’t useful. What’s the point of any of this? Why add these useless and hindering features, and yet continue to take away the things that make the app more accessible, the things we truly need? As an avid user of Tik Tok, I am fed up. It hurts to see this happening, and I don’t know how much longer I can put up with it and use this app. I hope this message reaches the right person, and my voice (among many others) can be heard.

This app is completely biased and treats certain types of content creators horribly

TikTok has TOS and community guidelines that only work if you are either making them money, or if you conform to what they want. Not only this they will make up bogus violations against certain people that are not even real violations of terms or guidelines. For example they will ban accounts of people just for eating. And worse than that they don’t always review stuff and when they do it’s just personal opinion on their part if they like it or not. Also they will suppress content creators like cosplayers or just ban their accounts all together for no reason. They also claim to have rules and stuff against bullying and harassment yet instead when someone comes to them about being bullied or harassed TikTok will punish the person being bullied by suppressing their account and making it so their videos don’t get seen as much rather than dealing with the actual bully, and they also will do this same suppression and content hiding on people who they don’t find attractive, people with disabilities, and people who they think are overweight. Some people don’t have these problems because TikTok just picks and chooses who to cause problems for. The list of problems goes on and on. People need to be aware that TikTok is a horrible app and is not user friendly to certain people just because it doesn’t like them. These problems need to be made public and need to be fixed.

TikTok Needs to Understand This

Hello TikTok, if you are reading this, here’s what you need to understand: I am a video editor, and I get to work with other people’s content. I understand that your new Creativity Fund constantly rejects my videos for being “unoriginal”, but what you need to understand is that while the content itself comes from other sources, I always give credit by using hashtags, my TikTok bio says that everything I make on the app has credit due to Dreamworks, music writers and more. The originality behind my TikTok’s are the ability to take something old and crafting it into something new; give a movie character a new personality and psyche, if not go deeper into it. Also, when the Creator Fund rejects my videos and appeals, not only are you taking away my ability to invest in higher quality video editing tools and software, rejecting every TikTok from the Creativity Fund will cause other TikTok creators to stop using the app, therefore, decreasing its popularity, attractiveness, and ultimately, its relevance. Do you want to stop paying me TikTok? I have a multitude of fans to inspire, as well as funds to make to support the app and other creators by all means. This isn’t all about me, it’s about everyone who uses this app.

Terrible.

Tik Tok never loads. It just takes up space on my device. I can’t watch videos or see comments. It just says to check my connection. I have tried to make another account. Didn’t work. I log out of my alt and try to log into my original account but it says it is “Timed Out” I try to make one more account after deleting and downloading the app again, Only to find that I have been “using service too much” or something like that. Also, the people on Tik Tok are very toxic. It doesn’t do anything about videos or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist etc. The content can be extremely inappropriate, too but they do nothing about it. A lot of people on Tik Tok are bad examples. It has lots of perverts and there is a concerning amount of swearing on the app. A lot of kids watch Tik Tok and start swearing or doing inappropriate dances. There aren’t always trigger warnings on videos, either. I have seen some people traumatized bc of some Tik Tok with dead kids in it. There are videos of people doing inappropriate dances. I know people that have being banned for no reason. You ban them yet you keep up the videos of women dancing in their undies? Tik Tok is a terrible app and it should be removed off of the App Store.

Spam EVERYWHERE

I have had my fair share of issues with many websites when it came so spam, scams, and horrible content that shouldn’t be allowed on the platform, and for the most part they are good at detecting spam accounts and fake content… not great, but most of the time it gets done or at least worked out. TikTok does none of this, and instead plugs its ears and says there’s no problem. A majority of the accounts that like my posts or bookmark my videos are fake porn accounts trying to steal private information, and in spite of making multiple emails to TikTok and filing over 100 reports towards these fake sex accounts, they have told me there’s nothing they can do about it. Furthermore there are constant issues with e-beggars who steal other people’s content begging for cash or straight up pirating movies and making money off of them, as well as multiple pornographic posts that have been reported and TikTok has insisted don’t violate their TOS. Even many of their ads are scams or spam as well, leading to fake sites pretending to “go out of buisness! We have 99% off sale on product!” or “We’re hiring! Click link below for more info!” I have never ran into so much spam on any other social media platform in my life, and I have never had this many issues with the company refusing to listen to me when I show them the problems at hand. Not worth your time and effort when all the engagement you’re getting are from bots and fake accounts.

SO ANNOYING

OK I keep trying to write this with you but it keeps not letting me so I took one store away from it because I was going to rate it 2 stars but now I’m rating it 1 start and the reason why the rating so low is because I TikTok will not let me follow anybody anymore. Every single time I try to follow an account it always says you’re following people too fast. Which is not even true because I haven’t followed somebody in a long time and I’m only following 112 people right now it has been saying this since like 415 which is ridiculous. Normally I would right it’s a 10 out of 10 or a five star out of five stars. I just want to follow these accounts but it’s not letting me and that is why I am upset so yeah. Update from me 3 years in the future: I was recording a little video for fun that I was NEVER intending to post trying out a new filter and when I went to watch the video tiktok glitched and made me post it to my story, before it was all the way done posting I left the app and powered off my phone on hopes that it would not post and just save the video to my drafts. I waited a minute then powered my phone back on swiped out of TikTok then got back on it and my daft was POSTED. I am very very upset because I know that people will see that TikTok EVEN THOUGH ITS ALREADY BEEN DELETED. I know this because sometimes tiktoks will come up on my fyp and then when I try to like it it will say that the tiktok is deleted but I still saw it!!!!! I am EXTREMELY upset.

I really wish that there was no such thing as shadow banding or algorithm altering

I never see my videos I get a few likes and I have over 5000 friends on Facebook and it seems like I’ve did a research on Reddit Instagram Facebook anything on by meta-and you guys participate in algorithm alteration it’s not right it’s not fair I’ve done nothing to nobody if someone unlike suppose for me it doesn’t mean you guys put me in an algorithm into outer space that’s their personal opinion they’re like it’s not Golden I’m putting a post out here because I have things to accomplish in my life and you are blocking me on social media it’s just that a block and then you guys say you’re not doing it however I put several test videos on your platform and they did just what I suspect it went into a black hole somewhere I have relatives all over the world and I asked them oh have you seen the new post that I put up there like what post I asked friends and they say the same thing what post what are you talking about so can you please reset my algorithm so that I get a fair chance when I post things or when I do advertising with you and I literally pay for it out of my pocket that the world can see it 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

TiktOk

TikTok is a fun app to watch dancing, comedy, cooking, hacks and many more videos. I would 10/10 recommend getting it if you haven’t already. If you are a parent figuring out if your child should be able to get TikTok just know that some songs and some dances are a little inappropriate for the younger kids. If your child is 11+ I would say they will be fine. The app itself is organized very well, so you save videos and sounds to look at later. You are allowed to have a private or public account depending where n your comfort. A private account means that you have to send a request to follow the user. This also means that you have to follow the user in order to watch their videos. Having a public account means anybody can follow you and anybody can sit and scroll through your account. You can remove followers. When having a public account, your videos may also be on the for you page. The for you page is videos you can scroll through of content that is recommended for you based on what you like and save. This is how many videos go viral. So an overall rating on this app, 10/10 would recommended, it keeps you busy all day and there is a video out there that will make you laugh.

GET TIKTOK

I recommend TikTok, here’s why. TikTok is a great place for socializing. Better than other apps, TikTok asks what you like then shows it on your fyp, you can also customize what creators and specific content is on your fyp by liking videos and following creators. There are fun trends to follow, with cool filters as well! You can have 8 accounts in total and they won’t be connected to the others, (so if you want a secret account, no one will find you). You can favorite sounds and videos, comments, etc. That was Tiktoks good features! Now for the not so great ones. These are the reason TikTok got a 4/5 from me. So, TikTok has something called community guidelines, to keep every young child on the app safe and just cyber bullying under control in general, but the thing is, these guidelines are commonly false. For example, I got banned on a account with over 1000 followers for bullying even though I was duetting myself saying I was improving. And dumb things get removed on TikTok, such as videos, accounts, and comments. But then there are some cases where someone is doing something so wrong and it doesn’t even get removed until it gets over 1000 reports. That’s messed up. Other than that, tiktok is a great place! I recommend it! Just watch out for those guidelines! 😬👍

Sooooooo excited to have found such a great app!

TikTok is an incredible app that provides an unparalleled outlet for creative expression and a platform to connect with like-minded individuals. As someone who loves to create content and connect with people from all over the world, I can confidently say that TikTok is one of the best apps out there. First and foremost, TikTok is incredibly easy to use. The app is user-friendly, intuitive, and doesn't require any advanced technical knowledge. Even if you're new to social media, you'll find it easy to navigate and get started. One of the things I love most about TikTok is the ability to be creative. The app allows you to create short-form videos that can be as silly or serious as you want them to be. From dance routines to comedy sketches to heartfelt monologues, TikTok gives you the freedom to express yourself in any way you choose. Additionally, TikTok is an amazing platform for meeting new people. By following other users and engaging with their content, you can connect with people from all over the world who share your interests and passions. I've made friends from all corners of the globe through TikTok, and I'm grateful for the community that the app has provided. Trevor Scott “The Man With The Mustache”

TikTok

I’m saying a three because it doesn’t let you to have it you want to and it doesn’t like you to search songs and it’s not that much good that I thought about it first time I downloaded it was perfect. It was five out of five, but this time is actually a three I kids believe that TikTok got a lot of bad things about a by that time till now add a chick only about one or two years or maybe only seven months I don’t know but I don’t think it seems awesome. As you know this TikTok app is not a perfection and it’s not a bad thing. Thank you for letting me to tell you the meaning of all the things that I didn’t like that could also be a zero out of five, but I didn’t want to let TikTok down because one time it helps me, and one time does it so the first time I download this app it was very good so I don’t wanna let it down, but the second time was exhausting at the time that is now, so I don’t know what to say to TikTok. I just wanna let you know Tik Tok to be to be more like kind a let people to type the music. Thank you for letting me say my voice. Can you also make sure that everybody’s happy about this not only me kids can I read everybody’s interview and see what did they give you actually I’m like exhausting Alec what is that? What is that? Like what is that? OK bye I hope you understand me and make some more things for me bye thank you.

Amazing

I wanna go into EVERY detail that makes this app amazing and some things I don’t like,for example there are some toxic people on this app such and zonuts AKA Zoe’s fandom, also Zoe,Charlis haters and everything,now a lot of the people on this app are nice but some make very toxic jokes and stuff that should not be on here,I love the idea and stuff but after all quit being toxic,and the thing is is that when you get banned FOREVER that really makes a person upset,and spamming people’s videos and getting shadow banned and all that stuff should not be a feature on this app,also being able to block someone is very amazing because if someone is hating when you block them they can’t see your content and you can’t see theirs,now let’s go into the hate comments,I see these EVERYWHERE now when someone leaves a hate comment they either turn there account private and never let anyone else follow them or out their comments to followers only or freinds only or delete their comment and content period,now I love this app because you can turn your account private and public and a lot of other stuff,this app is by far the most amazing app that I spend ALOT of my time watching tiktok and stuff,and overall it’s a amazing app

Banned for unknown reasons

I downloaded TikTok about two weeks ago or less. I noticed after a day of having it that my profile or app may be broken. After I would close out the app and get back on later, all of the creators I followed and all of my liked/saved videos would disappear. Not only that, but when I first attempted to upload a profile pic and bio, I received an error message saying I reached my daily limit. I let it go and tried again for the next few of days but with no luck, I kept receiving the same message even after 24 hours. The only thing that succeeded and stayed were my email and phone verification. I became so frustrated with this app that I stop using it for the next couple of days. Tonight I decided to give it another shot, only to receive a message saying that I “violated guidelines” and my account is now banned….. How does any of this make sense? I couldn’t use this app for the most part so what were my violations? Was liking BTS & Christian content my violations????? My main reason on getting this app was to watch Jungkook’s TikTok’s and lives, but nooooo, apparently I can’t do that. There’s truly no point on making another account because it’ll probably get banned again for no valid reasons. So with that being said, to my fellow Army, if you happen to see this. Thank you so much for sharing JK’s & BTS content for the rest of us to watch outside of this horrendous app. I truly appreciate you all 💜 Apobangpo!

LET ME FOLLOW USERS

I was really excited to start using TikTok about 2 weeks ago. As an app, I absolutely love it. I did prefer the older version of tiktok, without the “find relatable content” at the top of every tiktok and without your caption sliding upwards every time someone likes. But, as soon as I tried following ONE person, I wasn’t able to. It unfollows them as soon as I leave the page. I’ve researched this problem, and A LOT of users experience this. Sometimes it goes away, but after MONTHS. I figured they might be verifying that I’m a real person for the first few days, but it’s been TWO WEEKS. I logged out, logged back in, created a whole new account (still didn’t work), cleared cache, updated the app, deleted other apps, uninstalled TikTok and installed it again, and reported a problem through the app TEN TIMES. Every time, it’s just an automated bot reply, saying that there was suspicious activity. I verified my email, checked my settings, yet still nothing. This is incredibly frustrating, because I’ve never spammed anything in this account. There’s no way to reach any real people or agents so it’s just unfair. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to follow anyone ever, or if it’s going to go away and when. I genuinely enjoy TikTok, I think it’s the funniest app HANDS DOWN, and the comments are always the funniest. But, to not be able to follow other users is incredibly frustrating because there’s no email or phone number you can reach out to.

I like tiktok but got randomly banned

Tiktok is a very great app that I like and I never hated it until now. Ever since 2020 There’s a lot of racism in the app that hasn’t been stopped a lot of inappropriate info that hasn’t been stopped, but small accounts or accounts that have done nothing are getting banned. Today for no reason I uploaded a video showing the evolution of my pictures, after that i edited my bio and switched accounts. when trying to switch back to my main i couldn’t and it told me that I was permanently banned for violating the community guidelines. I couldn’t Appeal at all I wasn’t underage and I have never posted an rude or racist video that would have caused me to get banned, tiktok has not only banned me but they have also banned my friends for no reason. I just want to know why I was banned and if I can appeal. that part of my review was in 2020. i am on my 4th account now because i was banned over and over again. they don’t tell you why, and just ban you when you have a height following. i just reached 3k after a year of trying to grow my account. i spent hours crying and figure out why i was banned and they told me it was because of minor safety. i’m 13 and i still get banned for that reason. they said that anyone under 13 is banned but im not. people over 13 just have certain limits. i give them this rating because if they way they treat their users.

Definitely A Great App But.....

Okay, here’s my review. This APP IS WONDERFUL. But there are some down sides to it. So, I deleted this app once but I wanted it back so I can use it on my spare time. So I just got it back and apparently I can’t get back into my old account. I saved all the data but the password doesn’t work. I’ve tried a bunch of times. It’s probably a bug. Anyways, my second “but” is that even if you don’t want an account and your trust trying out the app, don’t pull up the pop-up that says “SIGN UP” or “LOGIN IN”. I honestly don’t want an account for many reasons. Bullying, mean comments, inappropriate things, ext. At this time-period, you don’t have anywhere to be, or anything to do besides hang with your roommates (roommate), family members, or yourself. Trust me, it’s tough. But at this point social-media is our life now to figure out things and to learn more. (This probably has nothing to do but I’m trying to give ideas and my opinions). Sometimes I try to not open this app up because I don’t want to see the pop-up where it says to “SIGN IN” or to “LOGIN IN”. Please don’t get me wrong but this app is incredible because I use it on other devices. But this device I use daily needs this app! Thanks for letting me share my review. Hope it’s well enough for ideas. Stay safe! Happy Holidays!!! -Your fellow TikTok Fan.

Good until it bans you for no reason

It is a pretty good app and I loved it. It kept me intertwined until my friend and I took a video together and she was wearing a pretty big sports bra. It cover everything except her stomach. My video got banned even though charli and Addison and other famous girl tik tokers were short shorts and bikinis. I thought okay well I guess that’s okay to get banned. So I kept posting and everything was fine. At that point only one of my videos got banned. I hadn’t posted in a couple days so I decided to post a video of the song “Thank you next”, by Ariana grande, org pictured of horses at the barn I ride at. Just the horses themselves and at the end I put a picture of me and another horse. It was a selfie and you could see a lot of the horses face but a little bit of mine. It got banned and said I was permanently banned from my account. For no reason it should be banned. I was wearing normal clothes and you could only see my face. I have no clue why it got banned and I’m really upset because that was a really good account and every school friend I had and or friend followed me and I got a decent amount of likes on each video. I’m am really mad at TikTok right now. Like did the horse not wear enough clothes. Seriously...

I love TikTok

The only thing I dnt like is how it changed and now u can’t make videos with music more then 1 minute long when I love to remix music videos with effects and upload and some are videos of concerts and other music videos I’ve seen on tik tok on others pages but I upload them with my own spin by adding more effects to make the music videos even better and much different from original or what anyone else is doing but yet,as of lately now their muting a lot of my videos I have had on my page since I started and new ones I try to upload.i dnt understand I thought it was about making content for entertainment purposes and to do something someone else is not but their pages that promote drugs and other drug products in their videos and theirs remains but mine just music videos that are out for the public already all over TikTok and other platforms and I remix and remake them and my account and videos get muted I dnt think it’s fair nor do I understand..I thought their was freedom of creativity that’s why I joined TikTok to begin with but if I can’t do my passion there I guess I’ll just have to start another social platform to show my creativity in this land of freedom like it supposed to be ..

Truth

Hello, TikTok is amazing most of the time but sometimes when you make videos it don’t even get out to the world. You only get a couple views and that’s sometimes sad because you really did work on your video and you sometimes you have to pay for views and I don’t really want to pay for reviews cause it’s most expensive and when you do you don’t forget likes and when TikTok ask questions they don’t help out. I wish they would improve TikTok because I love TikTok with all my hard TikTok was with me into like 2018 TikTok to improve and by the way 12 years old for kids to join I think that kids is not gonna listen kids all over all over the world page have TikTok little kids big kids adult kids all types of kids so I think they just have a 0+ because all the jokes that they make on TikTok is really really funny so if you are thinking to have your kids to have it, it’s gotta think about it because someone’s parts are negative and some of them are really bad especially when you see profanity I saw her once I don’t know if it got banned or he got banned or anything but it was it was not good but TikTok for the most it’s really good for the most part. Well thank you for reading my review and I really do hope you get better for TikTok sake. Thanks for reading.

My favorite go to

I recently went through the roughest sickest I’ve ever been in my life (with Lyme disease), I was bedridden 3 months; and nothing lifted my spirits like TikTok. I was too sick to be social, post or like; but I still wanted entertainment. Somewhere I could see comics, musicians from around the world, new artists - mindlessly - but only TikTok of all available apps, had “Take a Timeout” commercial to suggest a break for you when I spent too long online. Where every other app is attempting to force me as a user to do things their way (changing format to keep people on, forcing other users other than your friends into your Feed whether wanted or not, or were just becoming repetitive to me); with TikTok, within days, I was watching my favorites, along with suggestions for others; and the algorithm helped find exactly what I was looking for; all by scrolling or amount of time spent watching. It became my reward, when I was getting treatments or a having a really awful rough day; I could lose myself in old & new becoming favorites that had a built in post on self care, saying do something else besides be on their app. I can’t name another app that does this, and I am hoping that it won’t be taken down.

Frustrating and tiring

Tik-tok has undoubtedly been the most toxic and infuriating social media app I have ever used. Objectively speaking, the app itself is alright and has no identifiable flaws within its basic functioning. Contrarily, an extremely large portion of the users along with the content they put out makes viewing content tiring and frustrating. Whether or not the videos in my feed are influenced by the ‘algorithm’ is questionable. I am constantly being bombarded with extremely controversial viewpoints, none of which I am fond of, and am finding it almost impossible to eliminate this content from appearing. The ‘not interested’ button seems to have little to no impact on whether or not I see the content again and sometimes feels as if it has the opposite effect. The few times I’ve found success in adjusting the content in my feed I’ve had to dedicate an unreasonable amount of time immediately swiping past and posts I want to avoid. As time-consuming as this process is, I find that there is no delay whatsoever in reverting back to the old feed I try desperately to distance myself from. I’ve even went as far as creating a new account to try to avoid countless topics that I’m sick of hearing about. Within hours, regardless of my viewing habits, I am back to square one. I have used this app on and off for 3 years and have found that periodic breaks are extremely necessary.

Great concept- inconsistent access to features

Very disappointing.. Once every 1-2 weeks the app will switch on its own to the newest update from the older version. Then I’ll have access to post Stories, Tiktok Now photos, and use other features but the moment I close the app- sometimes if I just switch apps for a moment all the new features disappear and the app reverts to a previous version. When that happens, I can’t see anything I created with those new features.. This issue has been going on for more than a year. I’ve asked for answers from Tiktok support, done all their basic troubleshooting, and sent them screenshots and videos of the issue. All I get back are the most irrelevant, unhelpful copy/paste responses from support staff that aren’t even trying to understand the problem. It’s extremely disappointing to know that an app with virtually unlimited resources can’t manage escalating issues like these to the appropriate departments to get answers to users. Even if nobody knows why I’m having this issue, they could just say that. But the way they respond to user issues truly gives the feeling they’ve gotten so big they don’t care about every users experience. Aside from algorithm and censorship issues with creators getting videos taken down and accounts wrongfully banned, this is something Tiktok really needs to work on. The user experience is lacking.

addictive , and very bad to my mental health

I downloaded this app during Covid, and used it mostly positively. I enjoyed the content I was seeing , and it helped keep me entertained during the many months of being stuck bored at home. However, when life did start returning back to normal, my usage of the app didn’t decrease. I was stuck scrolling many times throughout the day, and by the time classes returned in-person, i would still find myself scrolling…even during class with an earbud in. i dealt with some personal issues during 2021 and my feed was beginning to change, relating more closely to what exactly was going on in my own life. i felt lonelier, sadder, and my attention span was becoming terrible- it was affecting how well i performed in school exams, how long i would spend practicing music, and long films became harder to sit through. i felt engrossed with this addictive never-ending cycle of scrolling through short videos…and i decided to finally pull the plunge and straight up delete the app, and delete the THOUSANDS of videos saved to my camera roll, (which i never even re-watched in the first place), and i could almost instantly see an improvement in every aspect of my life. this app literally changed the way my brain worked for quite some time, and now i feel like a new person without it. Please be very aware of the psychological impact this addictive app has on your life…and consider stepping away from its influence.

5 years ago, Here you are!

Here’s a review !🥰

I enjoy this app a lot and all the thing that you have added is wonderful! The only problem is when you report someone, it doesn’t do much. I think that you should be able to report someone and they would not be able to go on with doing the same thing they did, though thankfully- more than one person has to report the user, but indeed I have an idea you could add! The person should be active on their account at least 3 days so the same person does not report them with different accounts they are making. I suggest this app for many people that should be at least 10, basically double digits due to multiple swears that are allowed on this app. Maybe more edit options like, example; Camera swinging from on direction to the original video. This app is definitely absolutely perfect for people who enjoy making videos for others to see and enjoy! Though maybe make accounts get to the for you page more since its uncommon people search up a hashtag and find your video. Though I absolutely can’t stand this app, it’s amazing! And for another suggestion you should definitely add, make notifications for people messaging you and not allow spam if that is already added to the app, I suggest this app for you if you are looking forward to getting it! Enjoy 😊
