Tiktok breaks my phone

Not sure if this is the correct subreddit, I can post it elsewhere.

So what happens is every time I enter TikTok on my Samsung phone, the screen becomes black. It looks like it turned off, but it's the AMOLED display that makes it look like that. The app might be doing something to the gpu, maybe it overloads it making the screen turn off. Because the screen isn't off only on tiktok, once it happens its also off outside of the app, i know this because I did the normal gestures off quitting the app without needing the screen. Also, when its fixed after 10s or so, if i leave the app in the background, the screen suddenly turns off again and i come back to TikTok—I start to hear the last video i was watching.

This happened to anyone? Thoughts? Solution?

So after that you cannot do the Home button or the other buttons that you see on the bottom? Can you Shutdown the phone? Swipe up to get into notifications works?

If all above works. It is not your phone but the app itself.

(Anyway, I never downloaded or used TikTok, because while you install it, they will secretly scan your entire phone, which apps you have installed, search to your gallery, use Location, Camera, Microphone just anything to spy on you. And all of the data will be sended to China, idk if "T3ncent"(3 = e, Reddit doesn't like that word either) something says to you... But this is a company that owns TikTok and partially Reddit as well. They then sell the data, use it to DeepSeek and whatever idk.)
