Although the TikTok app for Android and iOS has improved a lot over the past few years, it still has bugs on certain mobile devices. Without further ado, the worst (in terms of performance) runs on mid-range/low-end phones.
A clear example of this is the famous message at the top of the app, the message “The network is unstable.” If you see them scrolling through videos, uploading content or commenting, Don’t give up! Your internet connection is not the problem.
By running different tests and checking different WiFi networks, we were able to confirm that the error was caused by the social video network itself. Fortunately, we have managed to find a simple and effective solution to remove this annoying message from the app.
How to fix “The network is unstable” error on Tik Tok?
Before we show you the steps you can take to prevent this message from appearing anymore, it’s important to clarify what the “unstable network” message on TikTok means. Simply put, this message indicates that the WiFi, 4G or 5G network we are connected to is experiencing data packet loss.
That is, packets are sent and received continuously. This prevents the application from downloading videos to be shown by us “for you”. It is worth adding that. TikTok downloads 10 to 20 videos per minute so that content scrolling is not affected.
Without further ado, here are the step-by-step instructions on what to do to resolve this error.
Enter your mobile settings and enter the “Applications” section.Access the TikTok app settings.
Click on “Force Stop”.Press the “Accept” button.
Go to “Storage and Cache”.And finally click on “Clear Cache” option.
If the problem persists and you continue to see the message “unstable network”, you need to change the DNS of your Internet connection through your mobile device and perform a speed test. If the speed test result is less than 5 MB download and 2 MB upload, you should contact your service provider.
