According to media reports, new security measures are being implemented in the app from April 17, as a result of which children will not be able to send direct messages to each other. This app’s safety head, Corm Cannon, said that at first, users in this app could not receive messages from people who were not in their friend list, but now going a step further, this ban is also being imposed on users. is

He said that we had promised to ensure the safety of users on Tik Tok and that is the reason why this new ban was introduced. He further said that the feature of sending direct messages is very popular among users. It comes because with its use they can make new friends on the app, then even if they are from any corner of the world, still this feature can be misused which leads to this ban. Andy Buro, head of online child safety company NSPCC, also appreciated this initiative on behalf of Tik Tok and said that this decision has been taken in the Tik Tok app because many such cases have come to light. There are places where adults send direct messages to children on this app with malicious intent.
