You finish editing, tap Post, and the video hangs or fails. Here is how to get it uploading again.
Why it happens
- Weak or unstable internet.
- An outdated TikTok app.
- Low phone storage or a full cache.
- A video that is too long, too large or in an unsupported format.
- A TikTok server issue or a temporary account restriction.
Fixes
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- Update TikTok and restart your phone.
- Clear the cache in TikTok settings.
- Save the video to drafts, then post again from there.
- Trim or compress the video and try again.
- Check TikTok’s status on social media and try later if there is an outage.
If posts keep failing for days, check your Account status for violations or limits.
