"TikTok's newly formed US entity is off to a very bumpy start. As the app continues to face technical issues affecting the recommendation algorithm, view counts and other features, TikTok is also seeing a wave of frustrated users uninstalling it, according to new data. Analytics firm Sensor Tower, which tracks downloads and other app store-related metrics, told CNBC that there has been a 150 percent rise in uninstalls of the TikTok app in the United States compared with the last three months."
"At the same time, an independent app called UpScrolled has seen a surge in interest over the last few days. The app is currently the ninth most-downloaded app in the US App Store and the second most popular social app (Meta's Threads is currently in the number one spot for social apps). The app has also reached the top five in the UK and Australian app stores. In the United States, its sudden popularity seems to be closely tied to recent changes at TikTok."
TikTok's newly formed US entity is experiencing technical problems that have disrupted its recommendation algorithm, view counts and other features. Analytics firm Sensor Tower reported a 150 percent rise in uninstalls of the TikTok app in the United States compared with the prior three months, while daily active users rose about 2 percent and remained flat week-over-week. TikTok attributed the disruptions to a data-center power outage but provided no timeline or technical explanation for the algorithm and view-count changes. Independent app UpScrolled has rapidly gained users, reaching top download ranks in the US, UK and Australia and recording roughly 41,000 downloads over a recent three-day span.
