TikTok is particularly popular with younger people, but users and parents should be aware of the age at which the social network is permitted

At what age TikTok is allowed

Short, entertaining clips that never seem to end as you scroll: That’s TikTok. The social media platform has become an integral part of school playgrounds, but it also harbors dangers, especially for very young users.

• TikTok is officially permitted from the age of 13 – according to the platform’s terms and conditions. In the PlayStore and AppStore, however, you will find the indication “from 12 years”

• If a user registers with TikTok, their date of birth must be specified. Anyone under 13 will not be granted access. But of course it is easy to cheat with this information

• Parents should therefore keep an eye on which apps children and young people install on their smartphones. If you don’t want to ban TikTok, you should educate them about its use and the dangers.

• Topics such as data protection, cyberbullying, sensitive content, media addiction and distorted reality due to filters etc. should be discussed if your child wants to use TikTok at a young age.
