• Search: Decide what can be searched for. This includes content, users, hashtags, or sounds.
• Screen Time Management: Sets how long your teen can spend on TikTok each day.
• Discoverability: Decide on the account being private (you decide who can see their content) or public (anyone can search and view content).
