What privacy settings does TikTok offer?

TikTok provides some basic settings that allow you to set your account to private, manage who can comment on your videos, and use the Digital Wellbeing feature to control screen time and filter content. However, if you’d like to have more control over your child’s TikTok usage, I recommend getting a parental control app. For example, Qustodio lets you set time limits for TikTok or block the app completely.

How can I protect my child from cyberbullying on TikTok?

It’s important to educate your children about cyberbullying and encourage open communication about the subject. However, if you’d like to do more to protect your child from cyberbullying on TikTok, I recommend getting a third-party parental control app. For example, Bark allows you to monitor your child’s TikTok account by sending you snippets of messages that include any concerning content.

How can my kids protect their personal information on TikTok?

Your kids should avoid oversharing personal details, enable strong account security settings, and be cautious about interacting with unknown accounts. If you want to ensure that they’re not sharing too much personal information, I recommend installing a parental control app with social media monitoring features, like Bark . This way, any time your child receives or shares inappropriate or concerning messages, you’ll receive an alert.

What should I do if I encounter inappropriate content on TikTok?

Report inappropriate content using TikTok’s reporting feature. You can also adjust your content preferences and avoid engaging with accounts that share inappropriate content. In addition, if you’re not sure what kind of content shows up on your child’s TikTok account, I recommend getting a parental control app like Bark . The app will scan messages for profanity, drugs, violence, and more. If it detects something, Bark will send you an alert with a snippet of the concerning message. This way, you can monitor your kids’ online activities without being too intrusive.
