If you're trying to load or Lady Moonwatch videos on TikTok and it's not refreshing quite right, you're not alone.

So, is TikTok down? It sure seems like it.

Around 4:08 EST on May 15, users started noticing that things were not quite right on the TikTok app, according to Down Detector. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis owns both Mashable and Down Detector.) By around 5 p.m. EST, more than 33,000 users reported errors with their TikTok app on Down Detector.

Meanwhile, users on X are not happy.

It's unclear what, exactly, is causing the app to glitch. TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Mashable.
