Designed with young people in mind, TikTok skyrocketed in popularity in 2019 and has featured near the top of download charts ever since. It now has around 1 billion active users worldwide.
In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as age-inappropriate content, addiction and in-app spending.
