Musical.ly faced its own series of problems over its 3 year history.
The original app went by the name Musical.ly which was acquired by the Chinese company Bytedance in late 2017 and underwent a total rebranding. TikTok is actually the second version of the app. TikTok is a music video based social media app that allows users to record themselves lip syncing to popular songs, add effects, and share them with other users (think snapchat with music).Īccording to SocialMediaToday, TikTok is set to surpass 1.5 billion active users in 2022, pulling way ahead of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube. But sometimes seemingly harmless apps (like Instagram & Snapchat) can slip through the cracks and cause problems for you child.
Luckily, parental controls and age restrictions help keep a lot of unsavory apps from reaching our children. As a parent it can seem overwhelming and even impossible to stay on top of the constant information, media, trends, and noise that is specifically targeted at our children. Now, the above should work in principle, but for many users some apps still show as available when other apps have the ‘egg timer’ next to a greyed out icon.If I asked you to name which apps are on your child’s phone right now, could you answer correctly? Do you even know? According to Backlinko, the total number of TikTok downloads has reached 3 billion, making it the most downloaded app in 2021.
You can also set app limits by going to ‘See all activity’ under the ‘Daily average’ bar chart and then scrolling through the list of ‘Most used’.If you can’t find it then swipe down to reveal the search bar and search for the app(s). Tap on App Limits, then ‘Social’ or whichever app category you need.Watch our video above to see how to fix it.įor some reason, sometimes even when you set Screen Time limits on overall time and individual apps, some apps remain resolutely available when those limits are hit. If you’re unable to limit Screen Time on iOS for social apps, with Tiktok, Instagram and Snapchat particularly affected, then this should be the fix you are looking for to ensure little Timmy/Tammy (or whoever) gets their beauty sleep…
