The glitch fueled theories that the American government is trying to shut the app down.
During the interview Monday, Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Pompeo if the United States would consider banning Chinese social media apps after India said it would ban 59 apps, including TikTok, over security concerns.
"With respect to Chinese apps on people's cell phones, I can assure you the United States will get this one right too, Laura," Pompeo responded. "I don't want to get out in front of the President, but it's something we're looking at."
He added that Americans should only download TikTok "if you want your private information in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party."
TikTok has been criticized for its shady algorithm and data collection. Its user base remains strong in spite of warnings from Pompeo and other officials. In April, the app had two billion downloads.
TikTok assured users that it was "working to quickly fix things" in a tweet on Thursday.
