Screen Time is not working with TikTok

I have set up parental controls but screen time is not working when set at 1 hour.

What hack has Apple given to the teenagers now?

For best results using Parental Controls with TikTok, it is best to do that on the child's TikTok account where there are several other protections for a child that cannot be done through Screen Time:

  • Only accounts for those 18 and older can go LIVE.
  • Limit daily use
  • Can make accounts private, so they cannot be seen by stalkers/predators
  • Restrict use of direct messaging and group chats
  • Restrict age related content viewable on their For You feeds

Screen Time on your phone limits app usage, but there are further settings that need to be put into place to prevent all access to TikTok due to:

  • TikTok can also be accessed using a web browser where the website would also need to be restricted.
  • Some sites on the internet hide the actual website being viewed where that site would also need to be restricted
