When our phone runs out of storage, removing unwanted content, like videos, music, etc., can be handy. When browsing the internet or using any frequent mobile apps, temporary data keeps building up.
If your mobile runs out of storage, try to clear these temporary files and unwanted media on the phone. Once done with it, check if the TikTok issue is fixed or not.
