Illustration : Danger of TikTok
An easy way to help you as a parent makes children safe from the dangers of TikTok. Come see!
Fill in the data according to the age of the child
The first thing to note is, make sure to fill the actual age of the child when creating an account. Because, this application will offer limited experience for users under the age of 13 years.
Children under the age of 13 can watch videos and make their own clips for personal viewing, and are free from tracking data collected by companies for users over 13 years.
But you also have to be careful, because access to the "safe area" in TikTok only requires users to enter the date of birth and nothing prevents older users from joining this area.
Accompany, and Make a Private Account
Then, you are required to accompany your teenage children when accessing TikTok. This is also a great way to spend quality time with your child. Thus, you can supervise children, while simultaneously teaching them how to use them.
Then, make the child's account become a "Private Account". To access it, go to the Privacy and Safety section, and activate the Private Account toggle. This method needs to be done because TikTok is a public application, which means that anyone can view videos, send direct messages, and make comments.
When set up as a "Private Account", only people you know are able to interact with their uploaded videos.
Limit comments and time
Next, limit comments. The comments of users in TikTok are often inappropriate to look at, so limit viewers who can comment on the video or good, just turn off comments.
The trick, go to the Privacy and Safety section. Then, choose Who Can Send Me Comments, and set it to your liking.
In addition, use the Digital Wellbeing feature to limit the access time of TikTok to your children. You can use a password for this feature, so children cannot change the settings that you have made.
The trick, select Digital Wellbeing, and there you will see the settings for Screen Time Management and Restricted Mode.
Delete TikTok Account
The last way, delete the TikTok account. Unlike other applications, TikTok has several steps to follow when you want to delete the TikTok account. You must enter a special code before you can delete it.
The trick, select Manage My Account, and add a phone number. Then, press Thinking about removing your account at the bottom of the screen.
Then, select Send Code to receive text messages with a verification code. Enter the code, then select Continue. Select Continue again for the final confirmation that you want to delete your child's account, and press Delete Account.
