Unfollow and follow the TikTokers

Updating the app didn’t work? Let’s try another solution: unfollow and follow the TikTokers in the following way.

  • Take your phone, launch the TikTok app, and search for the users you follow.
  • Open their profile and tap on the Unfollow option.
  • Now, to follow them again, tap the Follow option that appears after you unfollow them.
  • Finally, head over to your own profile and check whether the following page is fixed.

Clear TikTok’s cache data

  • Next, tap on the 3 vertical lines icon.
  • Tap on the Settings and Privacy option, scroll down, and tap on Clear Cache.

  • Scroll down and locate TikTok, tap it.
  • Next, tap on the Storage option.
  • Now, tap on the Clear Cache option to erase the data.
  • Go back, open TikTok, and your issue should be gone now.

Note: cache data only removes temporarily stored data, and your videos will remain safe.

One common reason for the TikTok following page issue is an unstable internet connection. To troubleshoot the issue, follow these steps:

  • If you are connected to cellular data, switch to WiFi.
  • Check your Wi-Fi server speed and make sure it is working properly.
  • Reboot the modem or contact your ISP to fix any issues in the backend.

  • Now go back, open TikTok, and verify the fix.

Force Stop the TikTok App
