TikTok, the fast-growing video sharing app in the world, has banned users under 16 years old from sending direct messages to each other.
The app reports that new features are being implemented in the app from April 30, which will prevent children from sending messages directly to each other.
The app’s Safety Head cited that previously users in this app could not receive messages from people who were not on their friend list, but were now one step closer to banning users.
“We promised to ensure the safety of consumers at TikTok and that is why this new feature was introduced,”
With this feature, parents will be able to decide how much time their children can spend on this app daily. Similarly, direct messages can be completely disabled or restricted.

In addition, a new Restricted Mode has been provided that will allow parents to decide what kind of content their children can see on the app.
It was first introduced in the UK and within a few weeks it was announced in different parts of the world.
