Is TikTok available for people under 13?


TikTok is available for people 13 years and older (or other ages as indicated in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service). However, for people under 13 years old in the U.S., we have a separate TikTok experience specifically designed for younger people.

People under 13 in the US who sign up for TikTok will be automatically directed to an age-appropriate experience where they can:
•  View For You and Discover feeds that are curated with content for younger people
•  Like posts
•  Report inappropriate posts
•  Create videos to save on their device

Important things to know about this experience:
•  All accounts are private.
•  Videos can be created but not posted. Any videos created will be saved on the account owner's device instead of being saved as drafts in their account.
•  We limit screentime on the app to one hour.
•  We partner with Common Sense Networks to curate the For You and Discover feeds as a view-only experience, with videos that are age-appropriate and popular. This means that people under 13 years old can't comment, share, or send and receive messages.
