Users of the TikTok for iPhone platform are now getting some security concerns as they use the app. These users cry out as the app demands them to use their device’s password to unlock the app for usage. This is a bit sketchy since the app doesn’t demand this from users before letting them access its services.
Those noticing this weird demand from the TikTok for iPhone app are now letting the public know of it. One of the users of this app who noticed this issue or request on his device confirmed that it went away with the installation of the latest update via the App Store. However, other users who are also noticing this issue on their devices say that the update didn’t take it away.
Is it possible that this issue affecting users is not about the version of the TikTok for iPhone app on their device? Is this issue a security concern that users of the app need to be aware of and guard against? These are just a few questions that might be running through the minds of users of this platform who are hearing of or noticing this demand on their devices.
Other users of the TikTok for iPhone app claim that tapping on the cancel button will give you access to the app. If you are also facing this password request issue and tapping the cancel button doesn’t work for you, you can try deleting and reinstalling the app. Some who have this issue on their device say that this is the solution issue.
You should try this because imputing your password might give away your data to bad actors on the internet. TikTok says that this issue is a result of a bug, and they are currently working on a fix to the issue. Until the fix is rolled out, you’ll need to ensure not to input your password if your TikTok app demands it.
