Users have been reporting the TikTok “Videos are syncing from iCloud, please try again later” error, which sounds innocuous but this problem actually messes up video uploads, creates a bad lag effect, and can even freeze the app. The TikTok iCloud syncing videos error happens when users attempt to upload videos to the platform, so is there a fix to get rid of this annoying error on the iPhone and iPad versions of TikTok?
Is there a TikTok ‘Videos are syncing from iCloud’ error fix?
To fix the “Videos are syncing from iCloud, please try again later” error on TikTok:
- Wait it out, iCloud is in the process of storing the video so the error will usually go away by itself.
- Go into Photos and press the “edit” button above the video that’s going to be uploaded to TikTok, which will create a temporary version on the device that can be uploaded without involving iCloud.
- Close and restart TikTok, making sure to close it properly in app switcher too.
- Restart the iPhone or iPad by either holding the power button (iPhone 8 or earlier) or the volume and side button (iPhone X or later) until the ‘slide to Power off’ option appears, then power off the device. Once it is completely shut down, hold the power or side button to restart it.
There are lots of great things to do with TikTok, but it’s surprising how often it can go wrong too. Here’s a proper fix for the annoying “Video under review and can’t be shared” error message, for example, and here’s what to do if messages are no longer appearing in the DM inbox. For PC users, here’s how to get TikTok running in Windows 11, which launches just next month so that’ll be a good one to know for anyone wanting to try out TikTok on the new OS.
