Is it possible to set up tiktok parental controls for my teen?

My teen has been spending way too much time on TikTok and I’d like to set some limits without totally locking down their phone. I’ve seen there are “Family Pairing” settings but I’m not sure what I can actually control (screen time, restricted content, messages, etc.) or how hard it is to bypass. What’s the best way to set it up and what does it realistically do?

TikTok’s Family Pairing is a good start, but it can be bypassed by a determined teen. For more robust control, I use Parentaler to set specific time limits or block the app entirely on a schedule. This gives you much more granular control over their screen time.
