What Should Parents Do If They Find Their Kids See Inappropriate TikTok Videos?

If you have found after checking TikTok view history that your kid is watching inappropriate videos, you can limit the daily access time of TikTok app or you can block TikTok app on his Android smartphone. You will need a professional TikTok parental control app through which you can control your kid's phone activities remotely.

1. Use Professional Parental Control - KidsGuard

We recommend KidsGuard as the best professional parental control app that you should have on your phone if you want to control your kid from accessing TikTok videos. You can limit access time as well as block TikTok app as per your preference and situation. Here are all the features of KidsGuard.

App Block:

You can block any app including TikTok so that your kid cannot download or access the app by any means on his phone. If you do not want to take such a severe step, you can limit the daily access time so that your kid does not overuse TikTok app.

Website Block:

If you block TikTok app on your kid's phone for watching inappropriate videos even after warning him, you need to block inappropriate websites. This is because once you block TikTok app, your kid will try to watch inappropriate content through the web browser. You can block websites explicitly as well as turn on web filters that will block inappropriate websites automatically.

Capture & Lock Screen:

You capture your kid's phone screenshot any time remotely from your phone through KidsGuard app. If you find out that he is watching inappropriate TikTok videos, you can lock the screen instantly so that he cannot access the phone anymore unless you unlock it.

Location Tracking:

KidsGuard lets you track the real-time location of your kid from anywhere through your phone. Besides, you can set a safe Geofence so that you get instant alerts when your kid crosses your virtual fence.

Call Filter:

You can control the incoming and outgoing calls on your kid's phone. You can select certain contacts who can call on your kid's phone or your kid can call. Therefore, no one else other than the selected contacts can call on your kid's phone. This prevents your kids from talking to strangers that they might have met on social media platforms including TikTok.

Activity Report:

Lastly but most importantly, you can check the activity reports generated by KidsGuard app that show the app usage of your kid on daily or weekly basis. From these reports, you can understand how much time your kid is spending on TikTok and other apps and if there is any need for intervention.
