The “invalid parameters” error isn’t exclusive to TikTok as the the error message pops up on other apps as well. Some people may think to reset their phones or force-close the apps. While that solution may work for some, it might not fix the problem for everyone.

How to fix the “invalid parameters” error on TikTok?

Since there doesn’t seem to be a particular reason for the error message showing up, TikTok does not have a guide on how to fix it.

However, several TikTok users think it has something to do with the app itself. But that means that there’s most likely nothing users can do to fix it until the people behind the scenes figure out what’s going on.

One fix many may forget to try is clearing the app’s cache. Once you enter the app’s settings, there should be an option to clear the cache.
