As an innovative and creative platform, TikTok is deeply committed to ensuring that every user in Myanmar can experience a safe, supportive, and positive environment. Therefore, TikTok will introduce several essential safety features that can be used by the Myanmar community, encouraging responsible usage while providing tools to protect personal and mental well-being.
(1) Family Pairing
The Family Pairing Feature helps parents perform beneficial control measures by connecting their accounts with their teenagers’ TikTok accounts. With this feature, parents can manage daily phone usage time, filter out inappropriate content, and adjust direct messaging settings. It is particularly a practical method of supporting a safe TikTok experience for younger users.
