TikTok Restricts Night-Time Live Streaming for Users in Nigeria

TikTok has temporarily restricted access to its live-streaming feature for users in Nigeria during late-night hours as part of an ongoing safety review. The platform sent an in-app notification at midnight on Sunday, December 7, announcing that LIVE access would be limited between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. to support user safety

During the restriction period, affected users saw a “No Access” message when attempting to go live and were also unable to view LIVE broadcasts from other countries. TikTok has not confirmed how long the measure will remain in place.

 

 

 

The move follows the company’s recent West Africa Safety Summit in Dakar, where TikTok revealed it took action against over 2.3 million LIVE sessions globally and banned 49,512 LIVE sessions in Nigeria in the second quarter of 2025.

 

The company also removed 3.78 million videos in Nigeria for Community Guidelines violations, with most taken down before being widely viewed.
