Popular social media app TikTok has had a dramatic week lately. Disregarding the feuds between content creators on the app itself, TikTok has come under scrutiny by the United States government, which has confirmed that it is discussing the possibility of banning it from the country. Now TikTok users have run into a new headache, with many reporting that their likes and view counts have been reset to zero.
Many TikTok users quickly went to social media to complain about the issue, with some fearing that their TikTok likes and views were gone forever. However, TikTok has responded to concerns, confirming that it is actively looking into fixing this issue. Based on our own testing, it seems as though this problem isn't impacting all TikTok users, and that some people who were impacted are now seeing their likes and views restored.
TikTok, for the uninitiated, has become one of the world's most popular social media apps. Virtually any kind of content one can think of is available on TikTok, including plenty of gaming-related videos. For example, a powerful Call of Duty: Warzone FAL loadout was detailed in a TikTok video, and TikTok users often partake in "trends" that feature sounds from video games.
TikTok's immense popularity is why the possibility of the US government banning it has caused quite the stir. No new information on that possibility has been revealed just yet, however, so fans of the platform should try not to worry too much. And in the meantime, they can rest easy knowing that TikTok is actively attempting to restore their missing views and likes.
