How to block TikTok on your child's phone and home Wi‑Fi

Why deleting the app isn't enough

Kids reinstall it, watch on tiktok.com in a browser, or use a friend's login on another device. A block at the network level covers all of those at once.

Block TikTok with Sheepdog Filter

1. Open your dashboard and choose your child (or Home Wi‑Fi for every device in the house).
2. Go to the Blocking tab and open Social media.
3. Switch TikTok off. It stops loading in the app and the browser within a minute, on every device set up for that child.

Want it only at certain times? Leave it on and add a schedule (for example school nights), or use Homework mode to pause it until a time you pick. Want to make an exception? Tap Allow for a bit and choose 30 minutes, an hour or the rest of the day; it switches back by itself.

The built-in way

• iPhone: Screen Time › App Limits lets you set a daily limit for TikTok, and Content & Privacy Restrictions can stop new app installs.
• Android: Family Link can block the TikTok app or set a time limit.
• TikTok's own Family Pairing lets you link your account to your teen's to set screen time, restrict content and manage DMs.

These are worth using alongside a filter, especially Family Pairing for teens you do let use TikTok.

Honest limits

Blocking TikTok blocks all of it. It isn't possible to block only the For You feed, or only TikTok LIVE, at the network level.
