Several TikTok users have reported experiencing lag and buffering in all of the videos on the app. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to solve this issue.
This is far from a new issue either. It’s actually a problem that crops up quite regularly on the app, often affecting many users around the world at similar times.
TikTok has been weird all with pausing videos halfway through. Idk what’s going on, but it’s annoying.
While the exact cause of this sudden spike in buffering isn’t definitively clear, several factors could be contributing to the issue.
Why is TikTok buffering so much?

However, there are other potential causes as well. An unstable internet connection is a common culprit for video buffering. If the connection is slow or inconsistent, it will struggle to stream videos smoothly.
Additionally, using an outdated device can impact how well apps run, and running multiple apps simultaneously can also drain resources, causing TikTok to lag.
To address and hopefully fix these buffering issues, here are some things you can try:
If none of these fixes solve the problem, it is likely that the issue is simply on TikTok’s end, and you’ll need to wait for them to fix any server issues or perhaps roll out an update to repair the buffering.
