In September 2019, Witherspoon told Ellen DeGeneres "I get distracted a lot because I see cute dogs, and I'm like, 'Oh, I've got to pull over!' I will literally pull over and get out of the car if it's a bulldog. Only a bulldog. I'm very preferential to certain breeds ... if it's being walked by somebody and it's really cute. There's probably a lot of pictures in the world of me on the side of the road with dogs." You can follow Reese Witherspoon's account @officialreesetiktok.

Since its launch in 2018, TikTok slowly garnered popularity and is now available in 154 countries worldwide. It is an application that features so many funny and entertaining videos. They include teenagers dancing, singing or sharing comedic experiences. The videos on TikTok allows you to upload videos with 15 seconds in length.

On February 20, TikTok announced that they launched the parental control in the UK in order to minimize the time that teenagers spend on the application. This Family Safety Mode can be activated if the parent opens his or her own TikTok account and link it to their child's account.

This feature can allow parents to filter the people that their children talk to on the application, they can make adjustments so that their child can only talk to their friends and not strangers. They can also limit their child's screen time, from 40 minutes to 120 minutes a day. They can also block content that is deemed inappropriate and report it.

Although this feature is only available in the UK in the meantime, TikTok is working on making this feature available worldwide.
