The app downloads of TikTok surpassed 2.6 billion times in December 2020 Which I think is kind of mind-blowing. In fact, in 2020, this was the most downloaded app of the year crazy right?

Tiktok has opened up huge opportunities for users to go viral and become famous without specialized skills.

But while tactics like optimizing your hashtags or leveling up your posting schedule are effective, without the right tools, it can prove quite hard and frustrating to achieve fast growth.

Unlike other platforms like Instagram, which are now under strict constant monitoring for automation. TikTok is yet to implement these harsh regulations on the use of bot services. They will do so eventually, so this is the most ideal time to quickly grow your account then relax on automation when things get strict. [https://socialtipster.co/tiktok-followers-generator/]

It really depends. Snapchat can be fine, and a good tool, as long as they're only talking to people they know. Once you start talking to strangers however, it becomes dangerous. Instagram has a lot of pretty toxic stuff, and can be pretty addicting as well. Tiktok is similar to instagram, but it sort of depends on what the algorithm determins your child wants to see. Tiktok is definetly the most addicting, but in moderation, it can be fine. I'd say overall instagram is probably the worst when used normally, but Snapchat can be bad if your teen isn't using it appropriatly.

Snapchat should never be in the hands of a kid, and not even a teen you can’t trust 100%

What about the other two accounts she has that you don’t know about? Does she have a web browser on her phone?
Stop giving kids smart phones.

+1000 There is a reason why the whole Wait Until 8th campaign exists and why tech folks in the know don’t rush to hand out smart phones to their kids. Any parent thinking instagram is better is delusional.

+1, kids called it their 'finsta' (fake insta) account. Have conversations about this with your kids, they will find a way to side step just about parental control. Trust but verify!

The first 30 seconds detail she's a rich tech employee working for a company who claims to combat this, i.e. agenda to exaggerate if not outright lie and fabricate.

At least snap chat is not introducing them to adult content in the same way

Read the news from this past week about fcps high schools and snapchat.

No. Social. Media. For. Elementary. Kids. Or. Middle. Schoolers.

That is why you make sure your kid's accounts are private and you monitor who they have accepted as followers on Instagram and who they are snapping with on Snapchat.
