TikTok's New Features
TikTok is rolling out new features to enhance teen safety on its platform. The features include Time Away, which allows parents to set specific times when TikTok is available on their teen's devices, and the ability to monitor their teens' connections, including who they are following and who is following them.
Additionally, TikTok is introducing a 10pm curfew for teens under 16, which will display a calming screen and play soothing music if they try to use the app after 10pm. Teens can request extra time, but their parents must approve it.
These features are part of TikTok's efforts to provide a safer environment for its young users and to help parents have more control over their teens' online activities.
