BERLIN: TikTok, after facing criticism from consumer groups over age-inappropriate content being showed to young teens, is now giving parents two ways of reducing the chances that their children are exposed to mature content in the platform’s feed of videos.

The viral video app is rolling out two new features, one that lets you blacklist certain phrases and hashtags, and the other letting you help adapt the content to the user’s age.
