Video Keyword Filter on TikTok

For you parents who care about your teenagers, TikTok has a Video Keyword Filter so that content that is not suitable for teenagers or should not be seen by their age can be avoided. This feature allows every parent to block certain keywords so that their beloved teenagers do not encounter related content or posts in their selected feed.

For example, if you as a parent do not want your teenager to see horror-related content, you can simply enter the keyword ‘Horror’ into the Video Keyword Filter on TikTok. Later, content with that keyword, whether in the title, description, or hashtags, will not appear on your teenager's FYP. How about that? Perfect for parents who care about their teenagers' activities, right?
