Tiktok- running up huge bill for 'liking' without warnings that it costs!!

Just a warning to others who like us did not know of this danger when a grandchild or learning disabled person uses your phone or account.
Neither DH or I use Tiktok - or social media but our learning disabled young adult son does. He uses social media with his friends. Our son has his own phone but on DHs apple account -it helps us know where he is and provide support as he has just started getting out and about alone. Son has recently joined Tiktok- I think to look at short videos and seems to have ticked the like button (a heart or flowers I think) without realising - as there are no warnings- that these 'likes' cost money ( some are £20 or more each)- that this sends money to the person being liked! There are apparently no warnings and no notice of how much each touch of the heart/ flower buttons will set you back. This is not to play games but to trap people!! He has run up a bill for hundreds of pounds!! Apparently many children have also unknowingly run up bills ! DH got no warning that this money was being deducted-only hundreds of pounds on his card bill! We have also deleted Tiktok from his phone!!

Its possible to set the phone to require a passcode/ID code before any charges can be made so we have now done that!

I'm appalled that money can be taken without clear warnings!!

Just thought I would warn others!
