In a recent blog post, TikTok announced plans to make its platform safer and less addictive for teenagers. The changes, expected to be released in the coming months, expand on earlier efforts to improve privacy settings and defaults for children under 18 and include options such as choosing who can view videos and limits on when younger users get notifications. One of the featured updates is a prompt that appears when younger users are about to share a video, asking whom they want to allow to view it as well as whether they want other people to download their post.

 

This should be good news for parents since TikTok ranked first in July in nongaming app downloads, with more than 63 million installs, -- a title it has held for all but two of the past 18 months, analytics platform Sensor Tower reports. Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp rounded out the top five in overall download rankings in July.
