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 well-known. Interestingly, besides being admired for his role as a talented actor and presenter, Ibnu Jamil is also often praised as a cool dad for 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. So, in order for his teenage child to remain active 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?

1. Maximize the Teen Age Limit Policy Feature on TikTok

Teen Age Limit Policy Feature on TikTok

One of the steps taken by Ibnu Jamil to ensure his teenage child remains 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. Thus, his teenage child cannot send or receive direct messages, and only friends or accounts that mutually follow can comment on their account.

2. Manage Who Can Interact with Teens on TikTok

As users, parents can also be involved in managing their teenage child's TikTok account. This includes managing who can follow their account, setting the account to private mode, determining who can interact, filtering out unwanted comments, and deciding who can duet or stitch with videos uploaded by their teenage child's account.

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

This can be done easily 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.

3. Maximize Security Features to Protect Teens on TikTok

Furthermore, to protect teens, parents can make the most of all the security features on TikTok from the very first time 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 request passwords. So, never share that password with anyone, even if they ask for it.

To make the teen's account even safer, don't forget to enable 2-step verification. With this feature, TikTok will send a verification code to the parents every time the teen logs in from a new device. Remember, this code is only for the parents and the teen as the user, so never give it to anyone else.

Also, don't forget to utilize the device management feature provided by TikTok to monitor the teen's online presence as a user. With this feature, parents can check the date, time, and location on each device that their teen 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.
