New Delhi, Jan 13 (Ians) Chinese short-video making app TikTok on Wednesday introduced new privacy controls for teenagers (age 13-15) on its platform, saying their accounts will now be more private by default and strangers cant see or comment on their videos.
With a private TikTok account, only someone who the user approves as a follower can view their videos.
"We want our younger users to be able to make informed choices about what and with whom they choose to share, which includes whether they want to open their account to public views," said Eric Han, Head of US Safety, TikTok.
The company tightened the options for commenting on videos created by those ages 13-15.
These users can now choose between ‘Friends' or ‘No One' for their account and the ‘Everyone' comment setting is being removed.
TikTok will allow downloads of videos that have been created by users 16 and over only.
