my liked videos are synched hours later

hi, everynyan. this is the first time i post on reddit and it’s mostly because i haven’t seen anyone else complain about this besides one friend of mine.

so for the past week or so i’ve been having this very weird issue. when i like a video, the heart turns red immediately and the video appears in my liked videos. however, if i refresh my profile, the video disappears from my likes. then, several hours later, a bunch of videos that i liked earlier in the day suddenly appear in my liked videos all at once. i hope this makes sense 😭 i mostly see it thanks to the new features in chats that tells you if you or the person you’re chatting with liked a video that was shared among you. if they send a video and i like it, it wont say “you liked a video — shared” immediately, but it will hours later after the video has been finally synched to my account.

i’d also like to add that this isnt the case of tiktok temporarily removing your ability to like because you’ve been liking videos too quickly and they suspect you’re a spam. that’s what i initially thought it was and i was proved wrong. i even did a status check and everything was okay.

i’ve tried everything, and i mean EVERYTHING (cleared my cache, reinstall the app, reset my phone, whatever). i reported the problem too, but i dont think it was very successful. i only know that one of my friends has been experiencing the same thing. even if no one has a solution, i just want to know if others have had the same issue too because it’s been really annoying me lol
