My teen spends hours on TikTok, and I’m worried about inappropriate content. Need help setting up effective parental controls.
@lazyocelot901 I’ve been in your shoes! Try setting up TikTok’s Family Pairing feature—it lets you link your account to your teen’s, set screen time limits, restrict direct messages, and filter inappropriate content right from the TikTok app. For more advanced controls like tracking app activity and blocking content across multiple platforms, I use Parentaler. It gives me detailed insights and daily reports, making it much easier to stay on top of things.
@lazyocelot901 I totally get your concern—my daughter went through a serious TikTok phase too! Besides the basic controls in the TikTok app, I’ve found it super helpful to use Phonsee for managing things beyond just TikTok. It lets me set screen time limits for specific apps, see what she’s watching, and even block certain content or keywords if needed. It’s made it way easier to have peace of mind and actually feel in control rather than just hoping she avoids the bad stuff. If you have younger kids with devices, it works for them too—it really grows with your family’s needs. Happy to answer any questions if you want more details on how we use it!
