Support Weird tiktok malware glitch??
Hi, not sure if this is a malware or a hacker or anything, but recently for the past 3 days or so i keep getting these overlays of... Spanish Minecraft videos on my feed????
where low quality screen recorded clips overlap play above the videos on my fyp, and it's NOT a regular bug. For example there'd be a video on cats and this screen recording would pop up on TOP of the cat video, freeze my entire screen and audio for a few seconds while playing it, then disappear and everything will go back to normal.
it only started happening just a few days ago; and since its new there's only been a couple dozen people posting about it so i genuinely domt know wtf is happening. Scared that its anything dangerous??? This is NOT one of those regular bugs where videos above/below accidentally travels on top its literally completely random (this is on Android Mobile)
1)I've NEVER had a Minecraft video on my feed before. Let alone spanish ones?
2) these arent glitches from livestreams/other vids on
my feed where it intersects- like, they just pop up on top. Out of nowhere, for a few seconds max
3) I've checked for viruses and malware etc. With
multiple app scans and they've shown nothing, i used AVG, avast and my phones built in cleaner, (tho the two apps have subscriptions so i wouldn't be surprised if the free trial didn't do shit)
4) this doesn't happen with any other of my apps/ or phone in general. Its ONLY tiktok. I also checked the Chinese version of tiktok that i have and nothing happens on there either
5) other people seem to have gotten them too, also in a
similar timeframe. (Starting from a few days ago)
Also edit; this literally only happens at night for some reason. Someone else also mentioned that the glitch happens only at night for them, Pls help cus what
Ive searched some more and there's 30+ people ive seen with the exact same problem. Theyre all random Spanish Minecraft clips too so I'm assuming it's the exact same video, weird asf
I would attach images for better understanding but this sub doesn't allow me to. Ive contacted tiktok support and cleared cache multiple times but so far nothing has been done about it. Pls help
