Well, finally TikTok has started to incorporate a new feature called: Family Safety Mode. This new feature will allow parents to control the activity of their underage children. Specifically, you will be able to control all the options under the section: Digital detoxification. In other words, you can control:
Time management on screen: control how much time your son or daughter can spend on TikTok each day.
Direct messages: limit who can send messages to the connected account or completely disable direct messaging.
Restricted Mode: restricts certain types of content that may not be appropriate for all audiences.
The essential requirements to be able to activate and use the parental control of TikTok (Family safety mode), both the minor and their guardian (father or mother) must have a TikTok account. These accounts must be linked so that parents can limit or restrict certain functions or actions on their children’s TikTok accounts.
