Currently one of the most used social networks by young people TikTok. This makes it a good idea to have as precise control as possible over the content they consume. Well, this is possible without the need to install anything additional, since the app in question includes parental control. We show you how to enable it.
The truth is that depending on the age specified when registering with the platform, the behavior and content you have access to changes, but this may be very minimal in some cases. An example is the abuse of time (for example), which is limits. This is exactly what you will achieve by following the steps that we will outline and which are simple to implement.
How to enable TikTok parental control?
Well, what you need to do to activate it and enjoy all its functions match app the teen’s terminal installed on the parent’s or guardian’s device (similar to what’s on Google’s Family Link). This is positive, because it is possible to review the use of the account privately, and it is important to know that you should always run it from the mobile device, as this option is not offered on the computer.
These steps you need to take To enable the parental control offered by the TikTok social network:
- Open the app on your phone as usual and then tap the profile icon in the lower right area.
- In the new screen that appears, you should use the three horizontal stripes icon, often called a hamburger. Select Settings & privacy from the available options.
- Now you will see a list with many options where the person you are interested in is Family Match and when using it you have to click on the red button located in the subfield called Continue.
- Now you will see the option that allows you to set it as the parent’s phone, select this option and click Next. On the screen you will see a QR code that you need to use in the children’s terminal.
- To do this, follow the steps above, but you must select Teenager when choosing the account type. Then scan the code on your phone.
- Use the Link accounts button and a window will appear where you need to use the Link option.
- Once this is done you will be done and you can check all the configurable options like usage time or check out calls made.
As you can see, the process is quite long, although easy and gives pretty good control of everything teens do on TikTok. And if you wish, you can set restrictions… a very positive thing.
