In addition, the platform is promoting the upgrade of the AI recommendation algorithm, which may cause compatibility issues.
2. The new version of APP has compatibility defects
Data shows that 73% of fault reports come from Android users, especially after upgrading to v23.5. The developer community revealed that the new version of the short video encoding and decoding module conflicts with the GPU driver of some models, which can easily cause crashes.
3. Strengthening regional network control
Starting from November 6, users in many places reported that Douyin’s live broadcast function was limited. This coincides with the time of the recently launched "Clear Internet Environment Rectification" special operation. Some sensitive content triggers the automatic review mechanism, causing collateral impacts.
