TikTok has suffered a data center outage in the US.

As reported by The Verge, among other publications, the social media platform has confirmed that issues experienced with its app have been related to a power outage at one of its US data centers.

The issues showed up just days after the TikTok US spin-off - TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC - was finalized, enabling continued operations in the country.

Posting on X, TikTok USDS said: "Since yesterday we’ve been working to restore our services following a power outage at a US data center impacting TikTok and other apps we operate. We’re working with our data center partner to stabilize our service. We’re sorry for this disruption and hope to resolve it soon.”

Update -

In a follow up post, TikTok USDS noted that the power outage had led to a network issue. "While the network has been recovered, the outage caused a cascading systems failure that we've be working to resolve together with our data center partner."

The issues started on early Sunday morning, with some US users still seeing problems logging in and delays in uploading videos, among others.

TikTok has long been a customer of Oracle in the US, a partnership that was formalized through the establishment of the JV, of which Oracle is a 15 percent owner.

Oracle's status page currently says that all systems are operational. DCD contacted Oracle, but the company declined to comment.
