TikTok website is accessible via links sent in whatsapp even when not in allowed websites AND even when added to never allowed websites list

When people send my son links to tiktoks on whatsapp he is able to click on the tiktok video and it plays. I do not wish him viewing tiktok videos.


He does not have the tiktop app on his phone. Nor does he have any web browser app on his phone nor is he able to download any apps.


I have 'Web Content' set to 'Allowed Websites Only'


Tiktok is not an allowed site on his phone.


I have also added the following to the never allowed websites


https://tiktok.com

https://vm.tiktok.com


Yet he can still successfully vie the videos when he is sent one on whatsapp.


Anybody know how I can stop him viewing these videos?



iPhone 8, iOS 16
