Ibnu Jamil Shares Tips on Being a Cool Dad on TikTok, What Is It Like?

Kapanlagi.com - In the entertainment world, the name Ibnu Jamil is certainly familiar. Interestingly, besides being admired as a talented actor and presenter, Ibnu Jamil is often praised as a cool dad to his teenage child. As is known, teenagers are usually very active on digital platforms, such as TikTok. Besides staying connected with friends and family, teenagers often update various latest information through TikTok as well.

However, as a public figure and a parent, Ibnu Jamil does not want his teenage child to encounter uncomfortable comments while using TikTok. Therefore, to ensure his teenage child can engage online safely and comfortably, the husband of the famous artist and presenter, Ririn Ekawati, is not hesitant to share his tips on being a cool dad on TikTok. Curious about what they are?

Maximize the Teen Age Limit Policy Feature on TikTok

One of the steps taken by Ibnu Jamil to keep his teenage child safe and comfortable using TikTok is by maximizing the Teen Age Limit Policy feature for users under the age of 16. With this feature, Ibnu Jamil can set his teenage child's account to private by default. So, the teenager cannot send or receive messages directly, and only friends or accounts that follow each other can comment on their account.

Manage Who Can Interact with Your Teen on TikTok

As users, parents can also get involved in managing their teenager's TikTok account. Starting from managing who can follow their account, making the account private, setting who can interact, filtering unwanted comments, to who can duet or stitch with the videos uploaded by their teenager's account.

Not only that, parents can also block accounts they do not want to see or accounts they want to avoid interacting with their teenager, and parents can report those accounts, all of which can be managed directly by parents through the TikTok app.

This can be easily done because TikTok wants its users, including parents and teenagers, to truly feel free to be themselves, so do not hesitate to report uncomfortable messages and comments encountered on TikTok.

Maximize Security Features to Protect Teens on TikTok

Furthermore, to protect teenagers, parents can take full advantage of all security features on TikTok from the moment they create an account for them. Create a password that is easy to remember but hard for others to guess. Additionally, TikTok will never send direct messages (DM), emails, or contact users to ask for their password. So, never share that password with anyone, even if they ask for it.

To make your teenager's account even safer, don’t forget to enable two-step verification. With this feature, TikTok will send a verification code to the parents every time the teenager logs in from a new device. Remember, this code is only for parents and the teenager as users, so never give it to anyone else.

Also, don’t forget to use the device management feature provided by TikTok to monitor the online presence of the teenager as a user. With this feature, parents can check the date, time, and location on every device their teenager uses to log into their account. Parents can also delete their teenager's account from any device that has been used to log in with this security feature. Get more information here.
