TikTok has announced new measures aimed at reducing the time children spend on the app after 10 PM.
According to information posted on the official website, users under the age of 16 will receive a notification with calming music that cannot be dismissed immediately. This notification will appear full-screen, and if dismissed, a second, more difficult-to-ignore notification will follow.
In countries where this feature has already been tested, most teenagers have kept the notification enabled, suggesting a positive reception to the initiative. In the future, TikTok plans to add meditation exercises to the notification to help users relax before going to bed.
