Teens’ screen time will be automatically limited by TikTok

The business is also introducing additional parental control capabilities through the app’s “Family Pairing” function, which allows parents to track their children’s TikTok behaviour. Parents will be able to establish their own specific screen time restrictions and access a dashboard with facts about their child’s time in the app, such as how frequently they open it and what times of day they use it the most. Parents may also opt to limit subjects that they don’t want to see in their For You feeds and create a timetable for when their children can get notifications.
