Generally, social media apps consume space if you are using them for a longer period. The apps store cache on your smartphone to boost the speed when using. But, sometimes, this cache can slow down your device, which leads to the app crashing. Similarly, regular usage of the TikTok app stores more cache. As the app size is big, it consumes more cache. You must clear the cache to avoid consuming space and prevent the TikTok app from crashing on your smartphone.
When you have cleared the app cache and launched the app again, you will be required to sign in. Before signing in, you can change your TikTok password strong to keep your account safe.
