Suddenly finding your TikTok feed, Following or For You page (FYP) not updating, refreshing, loading up videos, or generally working properly at all despite refreshing it?

TikTok is one of the many social media platforms out there that has been growing in popularity over time. The platform offers a unique experience akin to earlier social media sites while also giving you endless hours of content that you can easily sit through with hours of watching.

The short video-sharing format that TikTok follows easily makes it easy for anyone to start getting into the platform as well as interacting with other users as they can add to your own content. Like many social media platforms, TikTok offers you the ability to follow someone as well as gain some of your own so that you can easily get updated with the latest content that gets dropped.

Followers are probably one of the most important things in TikTok as it offers you insight into how well you are performing as a creator and even give you access to new features such as going live and even monetization.

Despite the importance of keeping track of your followers, several users have been encountering problems with the feature and keeping track of their follower count as they can suddenly find the count disappearing or not updating at all, with the TikTok following page not updating at all.

Types of TikTok FYP, Following Page, Feed Problems

Following accounts in TikTok is a considerably easy process as you simply need to tap on the “Follow” button when viewing their account, and you will immediately be listed as their follower.

Despite this, however, several users have been finding it difficult to keep track of their total follower count as the TikTok following page not working will often cause issues along the way.

This problem usually results in the page itself remaining the same despite several hours passing or TikTok giving you a message stating “No More Videos” or something similar. This issue can be incredibly annoying when it happens, especially if you are someone keeping track of their count for a milestone, such as being able to use TikTok LIVE.

With everything said and done, let’s get started with this guide and fixing!

Why is the TikTok FYP, Following Page, Feed Not Refreshing, Updating or Loading?

1. The TikTok Servers Experiencing Issues, or are they Down

One of the most common reasons why you and several other TikTok users might be having problems with getting their feed to load properly might come as a result of the TikTok servers. While a solid internet connection is needed to use TikTok without any issues, it is very likely that you might be running into problems if there is an issue with the TikTok servers.

The TikTok servers working properly and are free from any issues are, and trying to use the app with these present will most likely cause problems on your end. Trying to use TikTok while the servers are down will usually cause certain features to stop working, which includes your TikTok Feed and Follower page.

The best thing you can do is to check the status of TikTok’s servers and check whether or not it is online or completely down (Step 1). We recommend that you keep track of the server’s status if you are sure the issue isn’t caused by a weak internet connection.

2. Having an Outdated TikTok App

One of the most important things when it comes to using TikTok without any issues is to always ensure that you are running the latest version possible. While it is still possible to use and access your TikTok account without any issues while being a version or two down, you become very prone to encountering issues in older versions or find yourself completely unable to use the app in the case of a severely outdated version.

In situations like this, the best action you can take and should practice is updating and keeping your TikTok app updated to the latest version possible (Step 2). It is very likely that TikTok might’ve updated without your knowledge and that you are using an old version of the app.

3. A Bug/Glitch in the TikTok App

The next reason why you might be having problems with getting your TikTok to work properly and your TikTok feed not refreshing properly might be due to bugs and glitches with the app. Bugs and glitches in TikTok aren’t an uncommon occurrence, but it is indeed unwelcome one when it happens.

There can be many reasons why you might be running into these bugs and how they affect your ability to view your follower count, which can make it difficult to properly solve. A fix that has been found to work with several users is to simply unfollow and then refollow someone in TikTok (Step 4), as it basically allows the feature to refresh. Besides this, sending a report ticket to TikTok (Step 5) is another way to fix the problem, as you can be redirected on how to solve this issue.

4. Corrupted Files for your TikTok App

The last reason why you might be having problems with your TikTok app might come from the app itself and the files under it. As with many apps, the files that make up the TikTok app are important to be able to use it without any issues going forward. Trying to use TikTok while certain files are corrupted will often cause problems such as your Follower Page not loading up properly.

In situations where this happens, one of the best things you can try to clean out any corrupted files is to clear out your TikTok Cache and Data (Step 6) or, in the worst case scenarios, attempt to completely reinstall TikTok (Step 7) cleanly.

7 Fixes for When the TikTok Feed, For You Page (FYP), or Following Page Are Not Refreshing, Updating or Loading

1. Check the Status and Health of TikTok’s Servers

We mentioned early that a stable internet connection is a requirement to access TikTok and all of the content you can find on the site. While this remains true, it can be difficult to use TikTok if there are any issues with the servers, as you will find it impossible to navigate, let alone open it for the matter until the servers are fixed and back online.

As of right now, there currently isn’t an official server status tracker for TikTok; however, there are several great alternatives that provide accurate information regarding TikTok’s servers.

Both websites we mentioned are only some of the few sites you can check out but ones that we highly recommend due to their accuracy and features.

2. Update Your TikTok App

4. Try Unfollowing and Re-Following Someone

A solution that several TikTok users have been trying to fix the problem with their Following page not updating with a particular TikToker’s posts or the page not showing up is simply trying the feature again in an attempt to refresh it and reload.

5. Once both steps above have been finished, tap on the “Uninstall” option and

wait for the TikTok to be uninstalled.

6. Once TikTok has been uninstalled, open your Play Store/App Store, then navigate to the TikTok app page to re-download it.

When you run into any bugs and glitches that are preventing you from using TikTok properly, such as a bug stopping you from properly viewing your follower count or even accessing certain aspects of TikTok, sending a bug report is one of the best things you can do.
