How effective are TikTok parental controls in protecting kids from inappropriate content?

Hi
I am planning to use tiktok parental control for my kids. Can anyone share how effective it is in protecting kids from inappropriate content?

Oh yeah, it’s foolproof. Just like how a "Keep Off Grass" sign stops people from walking on grass. If your kid wants to find something, they’ll find it in 30 seconds.

TikTok parental controls help limit exposure to inappropriate content by restricting screen time, filtering content, and requiring approval for interactions. They’re helpful but not foolproof—some content can still slip through. Active supervision, communication with kids, and regular settings reviews make protection more effective than controls alone.

TikTok parental controls help limit inappropriate content and screen time, but they aren’t foolproof. They work best when combined with parental supervision, age-appropriate settings, and open communication.
