TikTok Showcases Safety and Well-Being Tools at Interactive Event

Jeddah, KSA – August 31, 2022: TikTok reinforced its commitment to the safety and digital well-being of its community earlier this week as it hosted guests to learn and test their knowledge of the platform’s safety and digital well-being features during an interactive event. 

Guests took part in a fun-filled afternoon with collaborative sessions and digital activations held in Jeddah, where they learned first-hand about TikTok’s wide range of safety features and well-being tools available to users.

TikTok allowed attendees to compete against each other on a TikTok board game where players tested their knowledge of TikTok’s safety features and well-being tools, including TikTok’s “Family Pairing” feature allows parents and teens to customize their safety settings based on individual needs. Players ‘collected one follower’ for every question correctly answered or ‘lost followers’ if they chose the wrong game card. 

During these activities, attendees were also reminded of the different family safety and well-being features available on the platform that ensure a customized viewing experience for all its users. The “Restricted Mode” feature, for instance, allows users to limit the appearance of content that may not be suitable. At the same time, selecting who can send you “Direct Messages” is only available to registered accounts who are 16 and older – and it’s one of the features that a parent or caregiver can restrict or turn off with Family Pairing. Moreover, the platform provides an in-app feature to “Filter All Comments,” allowing the video creator not to display comments unless they approve. Users can also create a custom list of keywords so that comments containing these words are automatically hidden.

Guests in attendance left the event with a greater understanding of TikTok’s commitment to the digital well-being of their community. They gained a deeper knowledge of the tools TikTok provides to ensure a safe and positive experience on the platform for users and their families.
