Dear TikTok lovers, here're some tips to make your account safer.
Since we began to spend most of our time going online and using apps, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown, there have been several cases when hackers took that as a chance to sneak in. So, to protect your personal data, securing your social media accounts is more than essential.
With millions of users around the world, TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms, and having some strangers lurking around your account is one thing you never want to deal with. Therefore, the ISEA (Information Security Awareness) by MeitY has suggested some tips to make your TikTok account safer.
Step 1: Head to the Settings section in your TikTok account.
Step 2: If you don’t like the idea of some random strangers sneaking around your account, let's switch on the “Private Account” option. Not turning it on means letting your videos be downloaded by anyone and that is a dangerous thing.
Step 3: You should also limit the commenters for your videos as cyberbullying is becoming more and more popular.
Step 4: If you set your videos to public mode, you should filter your followers in order to protect your account from being abused or disturbed.
Step 5: “Slitch or Duet” is another good option in case you don’t want your data to be seen by anyone but your friends.
Step 6: Just as the commenters, you can limit the reactors for your TikTok videos as well.
Step 7: As kids nowadays are attracted by popular apps and have the potential to expose their personal information, parents are also suggested to have a closer look at them.
Step 8: Finally, if all of those options above still can’t stop the intruders, users can simply block or report them to the system.
