TikTok is adding new digital wellbeing features in the coming weeks to help you limit your screen time on the addictive app.
TikTok might be the most powerful tool for procrastination in modern history. I can’t count the number of times I have gone to bed, opened TikTok to watch a few videos before falling asleep, and suddenly it’s 1:00 AM. TikTok is aware of this issue, which is why the company is adding new features to help users control their screen time.On Thursday, TikTok announced the steps that it will be taking to support the community’s digital well-being.
TikTok also added a screen time dashboard to the Digital Wellbeing section of the settings menu. On this dashboard, you’ll be able to see how much time you spend on the app daily, how often you open the app, and a breakdown of your usage in the daytime and nighttime. You can also turn on notifications to get weekly updates about your TikTok usage.
For younger users, TikTok is adding weekly digital wellbeing prompts. When users between the ages of 13 and 17 use the app for more than 100 minutes in one day, the app will remind them about the screen time limit tool the next time that they open the app. Basically, TikTok wants to shame you into being smarter about your screen time.In order to access these new features, here are the steps you need to take:Tap on the hamburger menu button at the top-right corner of the screen.
