TikTok launched a new parental control feature called "Family Match" on Saturday, which allows parents to link their children's accounts to theirs and limits the use of the app by children remotely.
Regarding TikTok's new parental controls, you should know the following:
What are the new features? How it works
TikTok has launched a new parental control (Family Pairing) tool that parents can use to link the account in the app to the child's account so that they can remotely control the child's account settings using their mobile phones.
Parents should urge their children to agree to link their accounts in the new system. Parents then need to scan the QR code in the digital happiness section of their child's account.
Although children can disable this feature in their account at any time, parents receive this notification. If he accidentally or wrongly got out of it, he can relink the account.
What restrictions will parents control?
The restrictions that can be managed through the job (family correspondence) include three main components:
- Parents can control the amount of time children spend each day on the app.
- Restricted Mode can restrict inappropriate content for young children.
- Parents can limit who can send messages to their child’s account, or stop sending messages directly.
Starting April 30, TikTok will automatically disable direct messaging for user accounts under the age of 16.
It should be noted that the new feature will be introduced in the coming weeks, TikTok said: “Even if the feature (family pairing) is not enabled, parents can use the section control (digital luxury) to help children adapt (screen time)) and (subject to setting Restricted) .Applies, but there is an association between accounts, which means that parents can easily access the controls over the cable and adjust them as needed.
