Hello,

 

You can use WebFilter to block access to TikTok Web and under Application control you can find TikTok signature that can be used to block it (deep-inspection is recommended).

You can block access to TikTok on your Android or iPhone (through Settings) or on your router by using specialized blacklist apps like OpenDNS.
Some people prefer to block TikTok on their children's phones as a parental control tool, on their devices for securing their data, and even as a simple fix to time-wasting at the office, so it's good that you've asked that.
For me, TikTok would also be less relevant if it weren't such a good marketing tool. While I try to avoid "entertainment" content, as it can become addictive, I still use my page for promoting my small business and even pay for more followers through https://enforcesocial.com/buy-tiktok-folllowers . It helps raise awareness for a page, which makes TikTok less an app "for fun" and more a marketing tool.

Blocking access to TikTok can be done through various methods, including settings on Android or iPhone, or by using specialized blacklist apps like OpenDNS on your router. Many individuals choose to go viral tiktok, whether as a parental control measure on their children's phones, to enhance data security on their devices, or simply to manage time spent on the app, especially in office settings. It's a thoughtful consideration, and there are multiple options available to cater to different needs.
