In line with Safer Internet Day, TikTok, the leading destination for short-form mobile video, is reinforcing its commitment to a safer digital space for its community. With a global community of over one billion monthly users and an experience designed to reflect individual preferences, TikTok is constantly implementing and developing various safety-related features curated to users’ needs. By continuously enhancing its safety measures, the platform ensures a secure and engaging experience for all users.

As content creation continues to grow across the MENA region and beyond, TikTok remains committed to maintaining a safe space by upholding its Community Guidelines. This commitment drives the platform’s efforts to create an environment where everyone can express themselves freely.

Building on TikTok’s ongoing efforts to create a safe community, TikTok is constantly implementing and developing various safety-related features curated to users’ needs such as the “Direct Messages” feature that allows users to control who sends them messages, and is only available for users who are 16 years and older – it is also one of the features that parents can restrict or turn off through Family Pairing. Furthermore, the platform provides more features, including filtering comments; where users have the opportunity to make a custom list of keywords that will be automatically blocked from any comments on their videos.

“TikTok has built close-knit communities across the world, an achievement we deeply value. Our commitment to creating a safe space runs deeper than just policies; we are dedicated to ensuring that all users and creators feel genuinely secure and supported while using our platform. This is why we have tailored our safety solutions to meet the diverse needs of our community. With our Family Pairing feature, parents can help ensure their teens are using the platform in a balanced way.” said Malak Jaafar, MENAT Outreach and Partnerships Manager at TikTok.

Additionally, TikTok’s Screen Time Management feature promotes healthier digital habits through daily screen time limits, scheduled breaks, and activity dashboards. Youth Safety Enhancements further strengthen protections for younger users, including default privacy settings and content restrictions, encouraging safer and more mindful engagement.

TikTok remains committed to user safety and well-being, striving to deliver the ultimate user experience. To uphold this commitment, TikTok will continue advancing its safety solutions through regular updates, strategic partnerships, and awareness initiatives—ensuring a safe space for self-expression, connection, learning and entertainment.
