TikTok se ha convertido en todo un fenómeno. La red social de videos musicales es actualmente una de las aplicaciones más usadas del mundo donde millones de usuarios pasan horas y horas conectados, especialmente su público más joven.
Pasar mucho tiempo creando y viendo videos en TikTok podría convertirse en una verdadera adicción para niños y jóvenes, por esa razón es importante saber invertir el tiempo y no pasar muchas horas conectados a la plataforma, y en caso de que pueda resultar un tanto complicado hacerlo, la red social cuenta con la función “Control parental” que permite a los usuarios restringir el tiempo que se la pasa usando TikTok.
Esta función no solo busca brindar un mayor control en el tiempo de uso, sino que sirve para esos padres preocupados que quieran restringir a sus hijos el acceso a contenido adulto.
