To block TikTok on an iPhone, follow these steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Select “Screen Time” and then select “Content & Privacy Restrictions” to enable the restrictions.
3. Tap “Allowed Apps” and then turn off the switch for TikTok. This will prevent it from being used on your device.
4. You can also add specific websites to a blocked list if you don’t want them to be accessed from Safari or other browsers installed on your device by tapping "Websites" under Content & Privacy Restrictions and adding sites to the "Never Allow" list.
It is important to remember that blocking apps and websites may not completely prevent access, as some users may find ways around these restrictions or access them through a different device or account, so it’s best practice to set clear rules about online usage early and regularly monitor any online activity of family members using parental control apps such as Kidslox or Qustodio, which can help you keep track of app usage and web browsing history in one place while providing additional customization options for blocking content that isn’t suitable for younger children.

How do I completely block TikTok?
To completely block TikTok, you’ll need to follow a few steps.
First, you should delete the app from your device if it’s already installed. If you’re using an iPhone or iPad, go to “Settings” > “General” > “iPhone/iPad Storage” and select the TikTok app. Tap on “Delete App” followed by “Delete.” For Android devices, open Settings and go to Apps & Notifications > Installed apps > TikTok and choose Uninstall.
Next, if you have parental control settings enabled on your device, configure them so that access to TikTok is blocked for all users of the device. This may be done through an app such as Screen Time (for iOS) or Family Link (for Android). Check with your device manufacturer for more details about how to set up these controls.
Finally, consider adding a website blocking extension or plugin like BlockSite (available for Chrome) to your browser so that any attempts by users of the device to visit webpages related to TikTok will be automatically blocked.
By following these steps, you can ensure that access to TikTok is completely blocked on your device.
How can I block TikTok from my daughter’s phone?
To block TikTok from your daughter’s phone, I recommend following these steps:
1. Check with your mobile service provider to see if they offer any parental control services. Some providers have the ability to restrict certain apps and websites on a given device.
2. If you have an iPhone, you can use the built-in Screen Time feature to limit access to TikTok or other unwanted apps/websites. Go into Settings > Screen Time and click ‘Content & Privacy Restrictions’ > Allowed Apps and disable TikTok from appearing on her Home screen or in search results.
3. For Android devices, there are several third-party apps such as Family Link by Google that you can install to manage content restrictions for your child’s device. You can also use this app as a way to monitor their usage time of each app they have installed on their device.
4. Consider talking with your daughter about why you don’t want her using TikTok, emphasizing how important it is for her safety online and explaining why it’s not appropriate at her age (or whatever reason applies). Communication is key in helping kids understand why certain boundaries are necessary; it will help them develop good habits when it comes to technology usage later in life too!
