According to DownDetector, problems with TikTok started at around 15:00 GMT and are affecting users across the world.
The app, owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, suffered an hour-long outage that affected UK users earlier this month.

It comes only a couple of weeks after TikTok suffered an hour-long outage that affected UK users
TikTok’s recent issues come after rival app Instagram suffered a four-hour outage that saw users’ accounts suspended at the end of last month.
Prior to that, WhatsApp, owned by Mark Zuckerberg’s firm Meta, experienced a two-hour outage that left users globally unable to send or receive messages.
Rival social media companies are having trouble keeping up with the popularity of TikTok, an app for creating and sharing short videos.
It was recently revealed that TikTok users spend 197.8 million hours a day scrolling through the app – 10 times what Instagram users spend on its equivalent Reels.
