TikTok is to offer advice to parents and caregivers on how to support their teenagers when they join and use the service by offering tips created by online safety experts.

The social media platform has worked with the online youth safety group Internet Matters to create the new resources, which will appear to users of TikTok’s Family Pairing feature.
