Short video app operator Tik Tok, known as Douyin in China, looks to improve its privacy settings – adding account deletion, private messaging and parental control functions – for all its domestic and overseas users by next month.

“User privacy and protection is a critical issue for all social media and technology companies, and Tik Tok is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for its user community,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
