TikTok has temporarily blocked access to its LIVE feature in Nigeria during late-night hours (11pm-5am) as part of an ongoing safety investigation, the platform announced in an in-app notice on Sunday.

The restriction, which prevented users from hosting or viewing LIVE sessions, including broadcasts from other countries, was lifted by Monday morning.

The platform sent a system notification to users stating, “LIVE Notices. TikTok LIVE Update in Nigeria. We’re temporarily limiting LIVE late at night in Nigeria as part of our investigation to ensure our platform remains safe and our community stays protected.” Nation
