TikTok is arguably one of the biggest social media platforms on the net.

In fact, the viral video app became the world’s most-searched website in 2021, outranking giants like the Google search engine.

However, like most social media apps, TikTok is prone to the occasional bug from time to time — and it’s latest glitch is giving users a fright.

On March 10, 2022, users flocked to Twitter to ask what in the world was going on with their profiles. When navigating to their account, some TikTokers are met with a shocking sight: a blank page, with a message saying “no videos yet.”

For a while, it was unclear what’s causing this widespread glitch, with searches trending high for the “no videos yet” message.

For now, it looks like services are back online for TikTok — although some users might experience hiccups for a little while as things are ironed out.
