How to activate parental control for children on TikTok.

Step 4: Set restrictions

After setting the password, you can choose which restrictions to apply to your child's account. For example, you can limit the time spent on the app, block direct messages, or limit the content displayed.

• Block direct messages: This option will prevent your child from receiving direct messages from other users.
• Limit displayed content: You can limit the type of content your child can view, such as blocking inappropriate keywords or limiting access to certain hashtags.
• Limit time spent on the app: You can set a daily time limit for using the TikTok app. When the limit is reached, your child's account will be automatically disconnected.

Remember that it is important to talk to your child about the dangers of online browsing and safe behavior on TikTok. Parental control does not replace careful parental supervision.

How to activate parental control on TikTok for minors under 18 years old

If you are a worried parent about your child's use of TikTok, you can activate parental control to limit access to inappropriate content and protect their privacy. Here's how:

Step 1: Download the TikTok app

If you haven't already downloaded TikTok, do so from your mobile device's store. The app is available for both iOS and Android.

Step 2: Create an account

After downloading the app, create an account if you don't already have one. Make sure to enter your correct date of birth, as this information will be used to activate parental control.

Step 3: Activate parental control

To activate parental control, go to the "Settings" section of the TikTok app and select "Digital Wellbeing". Here you will find the "Parental Control" function. You will need to enter a 4-digit password to access this function in the future.

Step 4: Select parental control options

After activating parental control, you can choose which options to enable. For example, you can limit daily usage time of the app or filter content based on age category. You can also disable the "Direct Messages" feature to prevent your child from communicating with strangers.

Step 5: Verify your child's account

To use parental control, you must verify your child's account. TikTok will require a photo of your child's ID or student card to confirm their age. Once the account has been verified, you can apply the selected parental control settings.

• Remember that parental control is not a perfect solution and does not replace parental supervision. Be sure to talk to your child about the importance of online safety and regularly monitor their use of TikTok.
