TikTok’s new feature limits teen access during school hours

TikTok is rolling out a new feature called "Inactive Time" under the "Family Settings" section, allowing parents to restrict their teens' access to the app during specific hours, such as during school or at night.

According to Report, parents will be able to set a recurring schedule for restrictions and approve requests from their children to temporarily lift the block.

This new feature also gives parents visibility into who their child follows, who follows them, and which accounts they have blocked.

In the coming months, TikTok plans to add another option that allows teens to notify their parents about potentially inappropriate content, even if parental controls are not activated.
