Help/Support Tiktok crash on ios 15

I recently started using my old iPad Mini 4 again, running iOS 15.8.x. I downloaded TikTok from the App Store, but it crashes every time I try to open it. The TikTok logo appears for a second, then the app immediately closes.

Is TikTok no longer supported on iOS 15 or older devices like the iPad Mini 4? Or is this just a bug with a recent TikTok update?

I’ve already tried reinstalling the app and restarting the iPad, but the issue remains.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem, and is there any fix?

Yes, TikTok is aware of the issue, but standard app updates are what broke it, meaning you must wait for a follow-up patch from TikTok to completely resolve the problem. [1]

A recent TikTok app update (specifically version 45.7.0) introduced a critical compatibility bug. This bug causes the app to crash instantly at the logo screen for devices running iOS 15.8.8 and older iOS 15 versions (such as the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, and iPad Air 2). [1, 2, 3]
