The platform made the announcement on Twitter amid widespread school closures and increased police presence on some campuses. However, some school officials said the rumored content encouraged school violence in the form of bombings and shootings on Friday, Dec.
The widespread panic comes amid a rise in TikTok trends that have proved worrisome to educators and parents. In the past few months, the platform has made efforts to stifle trends that violate its community guidelines and could lead to serious injury. TikTok also recently removed the hashtag and videos of the milk crate challenge , in which people were climbing pyramids made of milk crates and often falling, which led to some injuries.
While the rumored content did not seem to target specific schools, many district officials responded swiftly by ramping up security or canceling classes. Schools in states like California , Minnesota , Missouri and Texas announced closures.
Other schools — in states including Arizona , Connecticut , Illinois , Montana , New York and Pennsylvania — issued statements announcing an increase in police presence for Friday as a precaution. Some school officials also urged parents and students to not share posts about violence.
A handful of parents took to social media to voice their concerns, with some saying they plan to have their children stay at home on Friday. Marci Peru, a mom of two daughters, told TODAY Parents that her year-old stayed home after the teen said her friends feared going in after someone on TikTok allegedly said that bombs would be going off in schools.
The U. TikTok also shared in a series of tweets that it has not found any evidence of content posted on its platform. However, there is a way to access your history: you can request your data file from TikTok. This file contains information related to your TikTok account, such as your bio, comment history, followers list, login history, likes list, settings, etc. Tip: Keep in mind that when your file is ready for download, it will be available for up to four days. The TikTok Android and iPhone apps are very much alike.
This process can take up to 24 hours. As previously mentioned, the TikTok mobile app has the option to download a file that contains your profile information, including the watch history. You can use your phone to download the app and request access to your file before using your computer to open the file.
But, there are still ways to track down that video aside from the methods above. If you tap on the message icon at the bottom of the TikTok app, you can tap on the video to the right of the notification. TikTok gives users many methods of retrieving videos later on. Another option to easily retrieve videos is using the Favorites function.
