Here are some steps to do this. First, restore your iPhone to factory settings and clear your phone of any unwanted apps. Then, you can disable Screen Time for a particular app or set it to block a number of apps. This will prevent your children from seeing TikTok in the notifications bar. Another tip is to turn off notifications for your iOS device. Lastly, you can turn off notifications to block the app from appearing in your child&#8217;s phone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_a_time_limit_on_TikTok\"><\/span>Setting a time limit on TikTok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Screen time management is a simple way to control the amount of time that your child can spend using TikTok. You can choose the time limit for each day, or skip it until you have calculated how long your child is using the app each day. If your child frequently plays this app, setting a time limit may be the best option. Just follow these steps and your child will spend less time on this app!<\/p>\n<p>To set a screen time limit for your iPhone, first open the Settings app. Then select Screen Time Management. Next, enter a time limit and then set a password at the end of that time. If you choose the first option, you can also block the app. However, if you choose the second option, you will need to enter your password after you reach your time limit. After that, you can proceed to setting a time limit for TikTok on iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have entered your password, you can now set a screen time limit for TikTok on iPhone. Screen Time settings apply to all devices synced with the same iCloud account. After that, you can enter a time limit for TikTok to limit the amount of time your child can spend using this app. Once you&#8217;ve finished setting up your TikTok time limits, your child can now move on to other apps and stay productive!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_parental_controls_on_TikTok\"><\/span>Setting parental controls on TikTok<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your kid has been spending a lot of time on TikTok, you might want to use screen time management. Screen time management allows you to limit how long your child is allowed to use TikTok and what they can view. You can also restrict screen time by setting a maximum time for TikTok and for all apps on your child&#8217;s iPhone. In this article, we&#8217;ll discuss some of the best parental controls for TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>Screentime management is already available on the app, but there are more options than that. TikTok&#8217;s new update will prompt your child to set their time limits by giving proactive prompts in their feed. This new feature comes amid growing concern about the safety of children on the platform. Moreover, you can prevent your kids from watching offensive videos by implementing TikTok parental controls. As of November 2019, the app has surpassed 1.5 billion downloads worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Screen time management can be adjusted on the iOS app, or on the mobile web. Parents can also restrict screen time for their children, which is useful if they&#8217;re accessing TikTok via the browser or mobile device. By adjusting the time limit, parents can restrict their child&#8217;s access to inappropriate content. Parents can also set a limit on how long their child can search for content or other users, as well as restrict their teen&#8217;s account status.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocking_TikTok_messages\"><\/span>Blocking TikTok messages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have been receiving annoying TikTok messages on your iPhone, it may be time to block these people. The app doesn&#8217;t notify you when you&#8217;ve been blocked, but you can look for a message from that person&#8217;s profile by tapping on the &#8216;Follow&#8217; button. However, you must be careful not to reveal your identity. To get around this, you can create a new account and connect it to your main account via Facebook or Google.<\/p>\n<p>To block the messages from a specific user, you must go into the TikTok settings interface. Then, tap on the &#8216;Direct Messages&#8217; section to configure your TikTok messaging mode. From there, you can choose whether you want to receive messages only from users you&#8217;re following, people you&#8217;ve messaged, or no one. Blocking a specific user will prevent them from sending you messages and videos, so you should be careful who you block.<\/p>\n<p>To block a specific user, open their profile and tap on the &#8216;three-dotted&#8217; button in the top-right corner. Select &#8216;Block this user&#8217; and confirm. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you can easily remove them from your iPhone&#8217;s contacts list. However, blocking TikTok messages on your iPhone depends on your operating system and device. If you&#8217;re on the latest version of iOS, you&#8217;ll need to disable Safari to do this. You can also install Covenant Eyes to block TikTok on your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oPVFuqeV9Pc\" height=\"239\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"428\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Block TikTok on iPhone You might want to block TikTok messages on your iPhone if your children are constantly seeing them.
