TikTok is giving parents new options to control how their kids use the app.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that more specifically, thanks to "Family Safety Mode", parents and guardians are getting access to Digital Wellbeing toggles that allow them to manage how much time their children spend in the app.

They can also limit who sends messages to them and turn off direct messaging completely. Finally, they can restrict the appearance of content that may not be appropriate for kids.

You can limit who sends messages to your teen's account, or you can turn off direct messaging completely.

You can restrict the appearance of content that may not be appropriate for kids. It’s not clear how well this works, as TikTok hasn't revealed how it screens videos. For an app of this scale, it’s likely a mix of AI and users flagging videos. We suspect it's not always 100 percent accurate.
