TikTok: users can now choose who can send them private messages
TikTok continues to be updated over time, a fact that has made it one of the most relevant social networks and, in addition, one of the most effective positioning platforms for brands.
Now, as part of a strategy that seeks, above all, to provide greater security to users, TikTok is taking a new turn in the messages section, now allowing Internet users themselves to decide who (or who) you can send them direct messages.
To do this, according to what has been revealed, the ByteDance platform has placed some options: everyone, suggested friends, mutual followers, people to whom you have sent messages or no one.
Undoubtedly, it is a measure that aims, as we already mentioned, to offer greater security to users and, perhaps in a special way, to content creators, thereby preventing hate messages and other subsequent messages from being sent through of your platform.
And it is that, despite the fact that social networks have a great influence on users, reality dictates that, through these spaces, it is possible to access all kinds of messages that, on many occasions, violate the user experience, especially the younger ones.
