TikTok Top Tips

How old do you have to be to use TikTok?

13 years old! This is due to some of the content not being age-appropriate for younger children.

What do you have to be careful of when using TikTok?

It can be scary in many ways, as you can see things that might make you feel upset or angry, such as: swearing, inappropriate videos and comments. If you do see anything that you don't feel comfortable with, remember to report it, tell a trusted adult, block the user and maybe even delete the app.

What are the positive sides to using TikTok?

Once you're 13, you can use TikTok to view videos, which are age appropriate and fun. We recommend you keep your account on private - you choose who views your content. This way, you're not sharing any information with strangers; you're keeping yourself safe!

What can I do on TikTok?

On TikTok, you can view other peoples videos or create your own. Remember to be careful about where you film and what you film! Once you have posted it, it stays as a record on the internet forever. Remember don't post personal information online or wear your school uniform!

You can also add filters, such as black and white mode, to your videos, match you to your dog breed, match you to your flower and green screen.

TOP TIPS:

• Always ask your parent / guardian if you can use TikTok first.

• If you see something that upsets you, tell a trusted adult and report the person or video.

• Don’t share personal information online (e.g. address, full name, school).

• TikTok has recommended that you only use their app if you are 13 or above!
