TikTok has launched several well-being features aimed at helping teens develop healthier digital habits, particularly focusing on curbing late-night scrolling. A key feature, 'Meditation in Sleep Hours,' automatically interrupts users' feeds after 10 p.m. with guided meditation exercises. This feature is set as default for users under 18 and optional for adults. Additionally, TikTok is improving parental controls, allowing parents to block app usage during specific hours and monitor their teens' activity. This combination is designed to foster better mental health and responsible app use among young users.
TikTok's new 'Meditation in Sleep Hours' feature aims to assist teens in reducing late-night scrolling and encouraging healthier digital habits through guided meditation.
The platform's early testing indicated that 98% of teens did not deactivate the meditation feature, suggesting it offers a positive experience while not being intrusive.
Parents can now set specific use hours for TikTok to help manage their teens' screen time, with the option to request more time available to the teens.
With enhanced parental controls, TikTok provides more transparency on what accounts teens follow and the ability for parents to block access during designated hours.
