TikTok, a leading destination for short-form mobile video, is rolling out its refreshed Safety Center with new guides and resources aimed at supporting digital safety conversations among families.

According to the mobile, these new features will tackle the challenges guardians face in parenting in the digital age; such as keeping teens educated and safe requires collaboration among parents, experts, governments, and platforms.

TikTok’s goal is to make it easy for parents to understand how the platform works and the tools they can use to create the best experience for their family.

A Guardian’s Guide to TikTok

As TikTok works to support families on the platform, it’s introducing the Guardian’s Guide, a one-stop-shop to learn all about TikTok.

This includes how to get started on the platform, the safety and privacy tools, such as the Family Pairing features, and additional resources to address common online safety questions.

TikTok understands that every teen and family is different, which is why it offers a range of choices and settings to empower parents and caregivers who are looking for easy ways to engage in their teen’s life online.
