Why is TikTok spinning? Annoying glitch makes users dizzy

TikTok app randomly spinning

The issue began around the start of December, when people began reporting that their whole screen was moving in circles.

While scrolling through the For You Page, the video starts spinning round and round repeatedly on top of a black background.

The issue mainly seems to be occurring for Android users, particularly those with a S23 Ultra or Google Pixel device.

Users are really confused, with one person writing “It’s driving me nuts” and another adding: “It makes me feel nauseous.”
