the safety mode will link a parent’s account to their child’s.

Prompts about screen management will also appear in a user’s feed.

The social media platform’s head of trust and safety in Europe, Cormac Keenan, said the app had worked with some of the platform’s most popular figures to introduce the prompts.

He said they would “remind our community to be aware of the time they spend on TikTok and to encourage them to consider taking some time out”.

Writing in a blog post announcing the new safety features, Mr Keenan said: “When people use TikTok, we know they expect an experience that is fun, authentic, and safe.

“As part of our ongoing commitment to providing users with features and resources to have the best experience on TikTok, we are announcing family safety mode, a new feature to help parents and guardians keep their teens safe on TikTok.
