TikTok has expanded its parental control tools as part of its “Family Pairing” feature. With the new system, parents can restrict non-adult users from using the app during specific hours. They can also view their children’s follower and following lists.

The platform’s latest update aims to help parents better manage young users’ digital habits. Parents can now track the time their children spend on the app and set specific usage hours. The goal is to more closely monitor the impact of social media use on daily life.

The new features introduced by TikTok have drawn attention amid intensifying discussions about online safety. While the goal is to provide younger users with a safer experience in the digital environment, parents’ visibility on the platform has also been increased. The update is viewed as one of the latest examples of social media platforms adopting a security-focused approach.
