TikTok users realized on August 13 that there was a widespread glitch affecting iPhone owners. Typically, when you text someone a TikTok link on the Messages app, it shows up as a preview of the video. However, after a few days of showing up as a compressed preview, minus the video still that usually accompanies the link. Initially the users thought it was the first step of Trump ban but later realised it was a glitch.
