TikTok is Gloriousmaking it easier to personalize security settings in-app, introducing a new all-in-one security hub to better manage account access and data.
Called Security Checkup, the new dashboard provides a centralized place to turn on multi-level security options and monitor suspicious activity, as well as step-by-step guides to enhancing your account's security.
SEE ALSO: Bluesky proposes new privacy settings for its usersUsers can add two factor authentication or passkeys to their log-ins, for example, as well as view and remove logged-in devices and see when TikTok flags unusual account activity. Access Security Checkup by going to "Security and Permissions" under your account's"Settings and privacy" menu.
Last week, TikTok announced new parental control features that allow caregivers to set stronger app restrictions and monitor their teens' accounts more closely.
Data privacy is at the heart of TikTok's political contentiousness over the last year. In January, TikTok briefly left U.S. digital marketplaces following a years-long campaign to ban the app for U.S. users, but was restored to app stores by the Trump administration under the pretense of potential new ownership.
Prior to its ban, the Chinese-owned platform was accused of being under the influence of foreign government interests, with congressional members arguing its access to Americans' data presents a wide scale national security risk — civil rights groups, meanwhile, argued against the ban. Despite fielding several offers, the White House appears to be pushing ahead with a deal that could see American software company Oracle taking over the reigns, as the platform continues to update its user control options.
