TikTok is currently the most popular app among young people and for this reason, there is a lot of concern for parents about the application.
In view of this, TikTok is taking steps to keep young people safe. Edge checks were introduced last year for this purpose, while now various parental controls have been added.
This new feature, called Family Safety Mode, will link a parent’s TikTok account to their child’s account, allowing them to control aspects of young people’s online personality.

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.
There is also a new Restricted Mode that lets parents decide what kind of content their children can see on the app.
How it works?
With this feature parents can access:
- Screen Time Management: Control the overall time of TikTok usage
- Direct Messages: Limit or control Direct messages
- Restricted Mode: Restrict specified content on an account
This feature is currently being introduced in the UK and will be rolling out to different parts of the world in the coming weeks.
