As part of its digital wellbeing mission, TikTok is set to offer two new practical tools to help its growing community of users balance the time they spend on the entertainment site.
Users will be able to take regular screen breaks using the new features, allowing them to maintain complete control over their TikTok experience.
A new screen time dashboard will provide data on how much time TikTok’s creative community spends on the platform, including daily usage summaries and the number of times they opened the app.
Users can also choose to receive weekly reminders to check their dashboard and keep track of how much time they spend in one sitting.
TikTok users will be reminded to take a break after a particular length of continuous screen time, which they can choose according to their preferences.
For younger users, TikTok will also give weekly digital well-being prompts. When users aged 13 to 17 consume more than 100 minutes on the app in a single day, TikTok will send a reminder the next time they visit the app to activate the screen time limit tool.
TikTok is dedicated to providing its users with digital experiences that bring them joy, entertainment, and enrichment.
As part of this, guaranteeing that the community has a good association with their gadgets and allowing them to have more influence over their experiences is important.
These new capabilities are in accordance with TikTok’s mission of providing a secure and positive experience for all of its users, as well as ensuring that the platform is equipped to provide the TikTok community with the finest possible viewing options.
The company hopes that releasing the new screen time management tools would inspire its users to think about their digital habits.
As a result, TikTok will release new guidance on the platform’s Safety Centre titled “How can I reflect on my digital well-being with my family and friends?”
The new features will be available in the coming weeks in the Privacy and Settings section of the Digital Wellbeing section.
