TikTok has announced a range of new safety and privacy controls for teenagers aged 13-17 to further enhance proactive protections on the platform. These updates build on TikTok's current messaging protections, such as not allowing images or videos to be sent in messages and disabling messaging for accounts under age 16. To help teens understand the sharing options available to them, TikTok is now adding a pop-up that appears when teens under the age of 16 are ready to publish their first video, asking them to choose who can watch it. • Download option - TikTok provides additional context to help teens aged 16-17 understand how downloads work, so they can choose who can download their public videos. • Reduced time period for push notifications - TikTok reduces the time period during which younger teens can receive push notifications. According to TikTok, these changes will continue rolling out to their community globally over the coming months.
