Quick tips
Follow these quick tips to help your teen create a safe social media profile.
Set profiles to private
If your teen is honest about their age, popular platforms like TikTok and Snapchat will automatically make their profile private. Otherwise, they should manually set it to private.
Set content filters
In the app settings, add restrictions for content such as words that might harm your teen's wellbeing or content that is not appropriate for their age, experience or mental health.
Restrict DMs
Teen accounts automatically restrict who can direct message young people. However, double check that this is turned off or set only to friends you and your teen choose together.
