TikTok is one of the most popular social media platforms today, with millions of users posting, scrolling, and engaging daily. However, some users experience an annoying problem: TikTok keeps resetting. This could mean the app logs you out, clears your drafts, or resets your settings unexpectedly. If you’ve been asking yourself why this happens, here are the main reasons and what you can do to fix it.
-
Outdated App Version
One of the most common reasons TikTok resets itself is using an outdated version of the app. Developers regularly release updates to fix bugs, improve performance, and add features. If your app is behind, it may crash or reset unexpectedly.
Solution: Check your app store (Google Play or Apple App Store) and update TikTok to the latest version.
-
Cache and Data Issues
TikTok stores cache and data to make the app run faster. Over time, this stored data can become corrupted, leading to glitches such as resetting or logging you out.
Solution: Clear the TikTok cache. On TikTok, go to Profile > Settings and Privacy > Free Up Space, then clear the cache. On your phone, you can also go to Settings > Apps > TikTok > Storage and clear cache/data.
-
Account Security Checks
Sometimes TikTok resets or logs you out for security reasons. If the app detects suspicious activity on your account—like logging in from a new device or location—it might automatically reset to protect your information.
Solution: Make sure you’re always using your verified login details. Turn on two-step verification for extra account security.
-
Multiple Device Logins
If you’re logged into TikTok on multiple devices, the app may reset or log you out to prevent conflicts. For example, logging in on a tablet and then on your phone at the same time could cause one session to end.
Solution: Stay logged in on your primary device and log out from devices you don’t use often.
-
Poor Internet Connection
A weak or unstable internet connection can also cause TikTok to behave strangely. If the app can’t sync properly with its servers, it may reset or fail to load settings.
Solution: Switch to a stronger Wi-Fi connection or use mobile data to see if the issue improves.
-
Device Storage and Performance
If your phone is low on storage or has too many apps running in the background, TikTok may reset or crash because your device cannot handle the load.
Solution: Free up storage on your phone, close unused apps, and restart your device regularly.
-
Software Glitches or Bugs
Like all apps, TikTok sometimes experiences bugs that affect performance. A bug in the system could make your app reset until TikTok’s developers fix it.
Solution: Report the problem to TikTok through Settings and Privacy > Report a Problem. Also, keep your app updated to benefit from bug fixes.
-
Unverified or Banned Accounts
If your account is under review or has violated TikTok’s community guidelines, you may face restrictions. In some cases, this can look like the app is resetting when in fact your account is being limited.
Solution: Check for emails or notifications from TikTok regarding violations. If you believe it’s an error, you can appeal through the app.
