Digital Wellbeing is a new feature implemented into TikTok (formerly musical.ly) that can
give heads-up reminders to take breaks, as well as block potentially inappropriate
content. This feature is useful if your child is using TikTok and you don't want them
spending too much time on there, or looking at inappropriate content. This wikiHow will
show you how to turn this feature on in your TikTok account.
