TikTok has just added new features, allowing parents to monitor their children's connection lists and control app access time.
One of the notable features is Time Away, allowing parents to set up TikTok time frames available on their children's devices.
For example, they can disable the app during dinner or on weekend trips, rather than limiting the total usage time per day. In addition, parents can set a fixed weekly schedule to maintain control more easily.
In addition, TikTok also added a tool to help parents see the list of accounts their children are following. According to TikTok, this will help parents have enough information to dialogue with their children and support the development of content recognition skills in the digital environment.
In particular, TikTok is testing a unique method to limit nighttime usage. For users under 16 years old, if the application is opened after 10pm, the screen will display a smooth background music.
Users can turn off this mode to continue using the app, but in the near future, TikTok will be testing the integration of more meditation exercises into these notifications.
