TikTok is partnering with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to bring real-time Amber Alerts directly to users’ For You feeds in the U.S. The company says it identifies whether users are within a specific search through their device’s IP address.

TikTok says the nationwide launch follows a pilot in Texas where Amber alerts were viewed 20 million times.
