TikTok said it has limited the number of groups someone can create and how many times messages can be forwarded. Muting and blocking tools have been brought over to the group chats, as well as the option to report harassment and abusive or hateful behaviour.
The group chat feature is not available for people under 15 (the minimum age to use TikTok is 13), and teens aged 16 to 17 have access restrictions. According to to TikTok: "If a teen is sent a link to join a group conversation, they will not be able to join unless the group includes at least one mutual friend. If they are eligible to join, they will be required to make a proactive decision to join. When a teen creates a group conversation, by default we will require them to review and approve new joiners."
