Teenagers who’ve never used direct messaging will also receive a prompt asking them to review their privacy controls.
TikTok already disables messaging for users under 16 years old.
Users between the ages of 13 to 15 won’t receive push notifications after 9 p.m.
Teens 16 to 17 will also see a pop-up if they turn on video downloads.
Video downloads are disabled for account holders under 16.
The new controlsTikTokannounced come after the company in January made accounts for people under 16 private by default.
Other social media companies, includingInstagram, have also rolled out more safety features aimed at protecting teenagers.
