Better Internet for Kids

We take our responsibility to protect our community, and teens in particular, incredibly seriously. It is the most important work we do, and we will continue to innovate to keep our community safe. To learn more about the safety features and resources we offer teens and families, check out our Safety Centre (www.tiktok.com/safety). 

Every day, teens around the world come to TikTok to express their creativity, connect with friends, and learn. We build the strongest safeguards into teen accounts by default to help ensure young people have positive experiences on our app.

On TikTok, teen accounts have more than 50 preset safety, privacy, and security features and settings automatically turned on. For instance, people must be at least 16 years old to use our direct messaging feature. Every teen under 18 has a screen time limit automatically set to 60 minutes by default and won't receive notifications after bedtime. Additionally, content that we identify as not suitable for teens is filtered from their experience.

We believe that a multi-layered approach is essential to protecting teens and upholding safety-by-design principles. We're committed to keeping children under the age of 13 off our platform, providing teens with age-appropriate experiences, and continuing to assess and implement a range of solutions. We're investing in new technologies and partnerships to bolster our existing efforts, while also engaging with regulators, NGOs, and the industry.
