Troubleshoot Unresponsive Live Wallpaper on TikTok for Android and iOS Devices
In the digital age, personalising our devices has become a popular trend. One such way is by using live wallpapers, and TikTok, the popular social media platform, has introduced this feature. However, some users have reported issues with TikTok live wallpapers not working on their devices. This article aims to help users identify and resolve common problems.
**Common Reasons for TikTok Live Wallpaper Not Working**
1. **Device Compatibility Issues:** Some Android devices may not support TikTok live wallpapers due to hardware or software limitations. iPhones may have restrictions or the live wallpaper feature might be missing or disabled in TikTok.
2. **Missing Live Option on iPhone:** On iPhones, the TikTok live wallpaper/live option might be missing or not showing due to app settings or iOS restrictions.
3. **Incorrect Setup:** The live wallpaper might fail if not saved or installed properly from TikTok videos. On Android, proper live wallpaper apps or settings need to be used to apply saved TikTok videos as live wallpaper.
4. **Software or App Bugs:** Outdated TikTok app versions, or bugs in the app, can cause live wallpaper to not work.
5. **Permissions or Background Restrictions:** Lack of necessary permissions such as storage or background running permissions can prevent live wallpapers from working correctly.
