Pinterest has implemented a new feature that prompts users aged 13 to 17 in the U.S. and Canada to stop scrolling during school hours. The initiative comes amidst growing concerns about the negative mental health impact of social media on teens, as recently reported by Pew Research. With 72% of high school teachers identifying phone distractions in classrooms, Pinterest aims to promote focus and reduce digital temptations during critical learning times by suggesting users put their phones away and pause notifications until school ends.
The prompt encourages users to focus and stay in the moment, suggesting they put Pinterest down during school hours as a positive move.
With nearly half of teens believing social media negatively impacts their mental health, Pinterest is proactively addressing this by encouraging breaks during school.
