Using TikTok and creating content for the platform is a pastime which many of us enjoy. With over 1 billion downloads of the app, plenty of viral sensations, and a bunch of creative freedom. It is no wonder TikTok is a game-changer amongst young people. TikTok is one of those platforms where you view one video and don’t know where you’re going to end up, which makes this platform truly unique.
One of the ways in which you can find videos you may enjoy is via the for you page. Once you’ve followed some TikTok accounts, this page will become personalized to you. However, what do you do when the TikTok following page not working? Here’s what it means and how to fix the issue with ease.
TikTok following page not working

If your TikTok app isn’t working how it should be, it could be an error with your app. Issues such as TikTok being down and outdated apps causing enormous problems for users. Whether you’re getting a cannot play error, a broken following page, or constant app crashing, trying these troubleshooting tips should help fix your TikTok woes.
Be sure to check you are online.
The first step when an app isn’t working is to make sure you’re online. Sometimes, when our network goes down, the app performs differently without directly saying you have no internet. If videos are buffering or the following page isn’t loading, this is a sign that you’re not online.
Check for updates
If you notice your app isn’t functioning how it usually does, it may have bugs. The way in which the app creators fix bugs is by taking a look at any coding and improving any broken software. When the app team does, they then roll out a new update. Make sure to check your app is up to date. If there isn’t an available update, deleting and reinstalling the app can also prompt the update.
If neither of the above applies, check out the down detector to see if TikTok has any known issues.

This page works similar to an Instagram feed, and you should see content from followers you have chosen to follow on TikTok. If you’re looking for content from people you haven’t followed, this will be located on the for you page (FYP). If you’re looking to get lost in hours of content, the for you page is perfect for this. All you need to do is swipe, and you’ll keep getting new content appears.
What is the ‘you’re following too fast’ TikTok error?

This error should only occur when you are following a large number of people in a short space of time. When you partake in this, you will hit a follow limit, where you will be unable to follow any new people.
There isn’t a time limit of how long this block will last, but it depends on whether this error occurs more than once. If you do this accidentally, the error should quickly go away. Users have reported this ban lasting anywhere between 30 minutes and three days. But as there is no time put on this, you have to wait it out. If you can still follow any new creators once the message is gone, we’d recommend deleting the app and reinstalling it or closing the web browser down and reopening it. By shutting down the running program – if an update is required, it will also install that.
TikTok following page – trending creators
If you’re just getting started on TikTok, you haven’t followed anyone yet, and you’re looking for someone to watch. The trending creators page showcases a massive range of celebrities for you to check out when first getting started. This is provided to help new users get to grips with TikTok and how it works while finding their feet. However, if you’re not a new user, this should not appear in place of the following page. When you follow creators, you should see their content instead.
Please note if you are new to TikTok, it may take a short time for the following page to catch up.

However, this isn’t a guaranteed fix, and it’s also worth making sure not to do it to too many accounts in case you end up getting blocked by TikTok for spam.
