TikTok says it\u2019s making progress on recovering its U.S. infrastructure after an unfortunately timed data center outage, which affected the region shortly after the TikTok U.S. deal<\/a> went through. Last week, TikTok announced the creation of a separate U.S. entity with American investors to avoid a nationwide ban.<\/p>\n

Around the time of the transition, users reported issues with TikTok searches, watching videos, posting, loading comments, unexpected behavior with the For You algorithm, content, and more. <\/p>\n

On Monday, the company attributed<\/a> glitches to a data center power outage<\/a>, which it said was impacting TikTok and other apps.<\/p>\n

Today, a post<\/a> on the TikTok USDS Joint Venture\u2019s X account indicates the outages are not yet fully resolved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve made significant progress in recovering our U.S. infrastructure with our U.S. data center partner,\u201d the post states. \u201cHowever, the U.S. user experience may still have some technical issues, including when posting new content. We\u2019re committed to bringing TikTok back to its full capacity as soon as possible. We\u2019ll continue to provide updates. Thanks for your patience.\u201d <\/p>\n

We’ve made significant progress in recovering our U.S. infrastructure with our U.S. data center partner. However, the U.S. user experience may still have some technical issues, including when posting new content. We’re committed to bringing TikTok back to its full capacity as\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2014 TikTok USDS Joint Venture (@tiktokusdsjv) January 27, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

The company has not named the data center partner at fault; however, the U.S. has been impacted by a large winter storm over the past few days, which affected some 220 million Americans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The timing of the glitches has led some users to question the veracity of TikTok\u2019s statements, as the disruption also occurred as civil unrest began heating up<\/a> after U.S. citizen Alex Pretti was killed by ICE agents.<\/p>\n

In a prior post<\/a>, TikTok noted that U.S. users may experience \u201cmultiple bugs, slower load times, or timed-out requests, including when posting new content,\u201d as the infrastructure issues continue. Creators may also see zero views or likes on their posts, or their earnings will seem to be missing, but this is also caused by server timeouts.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour actual data and engagement are safe,\u201d the company advised.<\/p>\n
