What is the audience controls setting on TikTok?
Audience controls on TikTok allow creators to tag their content if it contains themes that they'd prefer is not recommended to those under the age of 18. Keep in mind, content tagged as audience controlled must adhere to our Community Guidelines and will still go through our content moderation process.
Why use the audience controls setting?
Content tagged as audience controlled will be inaccessible to users under the age of 18 which helps limit exposure to content that may not be suitable for teens. For example, if you post content with sensitive themes or adult humor, you may consider using this setting to ensure it reaches the intended audience.
Who can view content tagged as audience controlled?

Note: If you're aged 18 years and older, make sure you're logged into your TikTok account and your date of birth is registered on your account to view audience controlled content.
