First: clear cache, not data
Most crashes are a corrupted cache, and the fix takes twenty seconds. Go to Settings, Apps, TikTok Mod Cloud, Storage, and tap Clear cache. Do not tap Clear data yet: that signs you out and wipes on-device drafts. Reopen the app and scroll for a minute. If the crash is gone, you are done, and this is also the fix detailed in the cache-clearing guide.
Second: stop the memory killer
On phones with 4 GB of RAM or less, aggressive battery savers kill TikTok in the background and it looks like a crash. Exclude the app from battery optimization (Settings, Battery, Unrestricted for the app) and turn off any RAM-booster that force-closes apps. This is the fix when crashes happen while switching apps or during uploads.
Third: check the update situation
A build that is many versions behind TikTok's servers starts failing in odd ways: feeds that will not load, effects that crash the camera. Grab the current build from TikTok Mod Cloud Android app and install it over the old one following the update guide.
Last resort: clean reinstall
If nothing else works, back up your drafts (publish privately or save them), uninstall, restart the phone, and install fresh. A clean install clears whatever the cache clear missed. If crashes survive even that, note your phone model and Android version and send them to us: that is a real bug report, not a settings problem.
