Does the TikTok app keep closing<\/a> on your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone? Chances are your app is experiencing bugs and crashing as a result of that. There are other reasons your app closes unexpectedly. We\u2019ll show you how to go about fixing this problem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other reasons you can\u2019t use TikTok uninterruptedly include your background apps using too many resources, your phone having a minor glitch, TikTok\u2019s cache files being corrupt, your phone not having adequate storage space, and more.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

1. <\/span>Force Close and Reopen TikTok\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One reason TikTok crashes on your phone is that the app has a minor glitch. If you restarted the app but to no avail, try forcing the app to close and reopen. This should resolve your problem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that you can only force close apps on Android. You\u2019ll have to use the standard close-and-open method if you use an iPhone or iPad.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Android\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Open your phone\u2019s Settings<\/span> app.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select Apps<\/span> > App management<\/span> in Settings.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Choose TikTok<\/span> on the app list.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Select Force stop<\/span> to close the app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Choose Force stop<\/span> in the prompt.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Reopen TikTok<\/span> from your app drawer or home screen.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      On iPhone and iPad\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Swipe up from the bottom of your device\u2019s screen and pause in the middle.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Swipe up on TikTok<\/span> to close the app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

        1. Tap TikTok<\/span> on your home screen to relaunch the app.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          2. <\/span>Close Running Apps on Your Phone\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Your phone may have other apps running in the background, using too many system resources<\/a>. This leaves insufficient resources for TikTok to work with, making the app unstable and causing it to crash.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          In this case, close all your background apps and launch TikTok to see if the app still crashes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          On Android\n<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Press the Recents<\/span> button to view your open apps.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

              1. Swipe up from the bottom of your device\u2019s screen and pause in the middle.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                1. Open the TikTok<\/span> app.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  3. <\/span>Reboot Your Phone to Fix TikTok Keep Crashing\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  Your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone may have a minor glitch, causing TikTok to crash. You may experience this issue with your other installed apps as well.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  A quick way to get around most minor bugs on your phone is to reboot the phone<\/a>. Doing so disables all your phone\u2019s features and re-enables them, allowing any minor issues to be fixed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Make sure you save your unsaved work before powering off your device.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n

                        \n
                      1. Turn your phone back on by pressing and holding down the Side<\/span> button.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        1. Press and hold down either Volume<\/span> button and Top<\/span> button simultaneously.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        2. Drag the slider to turn off your tablet.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        3. Turn your tablet back on by pressing and holding down the Top<\/span> button.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                          4. <\/span>Clear TikTok\u2019s Cached Data on Your Phone\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                          TikTok stores cache files on your phone to improve your app experience. These files help the app quickly provide you with the content you\u2019re looking for. Sometimes, these files become corrupt, for various reasons.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          TikTok\u2019s corrupt cache may be the reason you\u2019re experiencing app crash problems. In this case, you can clear the app\u2019s cached data<\/a> and resolve your issue. You don\u2019t lose your login session or account data when you delete the cache.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Note that you can only clear the app cache on an Android phone. You\u2019ll have to uninstall and reinstall the app to delete the cached data if you\u2019re on an iPhone or iPad.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n
                          1. Open Settings<\/span> on your Android phone.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                              If you\u2019re using an old version of TikTok on your phone, that may be why you\u2019re facing crash issues. Old app versions are usually not stable, and you can experience a variety of issues with such versions.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Luckily, you can update the app<\/a> to the latest version and resolve your issue in no time.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      6. <\/span>Free Up Your Device\u2019s Storage Space\n<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                                      TikTok needs to store certain temporary files on your phone to function. If you\u2019re running low on storage space, the app can\u2019t create and store those files, resulting in a crash.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                      To get around that, free up a bit of your phone\u2019s storage space, and your issue will be resolved. iPhone, iPad, and Android offer a storage analyzer, making it easier to decide what files to delete to free up your storage<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          TikTok\u2019s core files can go corrupt, causing the app to misbehave on your phone. There\u2019s a good chance your app is crashing because the app\u2019s core files have been altered.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          In this case, you can uninstall<\/a> and reinstall the app to fix your problem. Uninstalling the app removes all the faulty files, and re-downloading the app brings new working files.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                          You don\u2019t lose your TikTok account data when you do this, but you\u2019ll have to sign back into your account when you reinstall the app.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
