Family Pairing
TikTok's Family Pairing links a parent account to a teen's account, allowing remote management of screen time, direct message settings, and restricted mode for content filtering.
Privacy settings to review together
- Set account to private for users under 16 where appropriate.
- Restrict who can comment and duet teen videos.
- Disable direct messages from strangers.
- Review downloaded data and connected apps periodically.
Conversation over surveillance
Technical controls help but open conversation about online behavior matters more. Discuss what is appropriate to share, how to report harassment, and critical thinking about influencer promotions targeting teens.
