On Tuesday, the 11th, TikTok announced new features aimed at reducing screen time for teenagers using the social network.
One of these features is “Sleep Time,” which allows teenagers aged 13 to 17 to set limits on the use of the platform during the night. Another feature is “Scheduled Pause,” which allows specific times to be set for using the app.
TikTok also introduced a parental control tool, where some features of the app, such as who the teenager follows or who they have blocked, are made available to parents.
As an addition to the “Sleep Time” feature, ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, announced plans to introduce a meditation tool soon, with features supported by “research [that] shows that mindfulness meditation can improve sleep quality.”
