TikTok website is accessible even when not in allowed websites

Hi,


I am unable to block tik tok despite adding it into the "never allow" section under screen time. I don't have the ability to download the app thanks thanks to Screen time but it wont allow me to block the actual tiktok website. What solution do you have? i've already tried the content restriction feature and i've blocked the ability to download apps.


Please help

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Same issue! We’ve deleted the app because TikTok is somehow immune to Screen Time restrictions. Son was still able to access it through Safari. We added TikTok to the Never Allowed sites but it still still loads. Adding a time limit to the website is useless. All he has to do is hit “Ignore Time Limit” and it allows him to keep using the site.


We’re already frustrated that screen time restrictions don’t work for TikTok or YouTube. We’re talking about the two most problematic apps available. It’s disheartening that parents are sold a fallacy of being able to monitor and limit their children’s usage. Please find a solution so our kids can stay connected but also be safe from these intentionally addictive platforms.
