TikTok's New Feature to Combat Late-Night Scrolling

TikTok's New Feature Encourages Teens to Limit Late-Night Scrolling TikTok, the popular social media platform, is implementing a new feature designed to promote healthier screen habits among its teenage users. Starting today, users under 18 who access the app after 10 PM will be presented with a guided meditation session, interrupting their usual feed. The company states that this initiative aims to reduce late-night phone use and improve sleep quality among young people. "We're always looking for ways to improve the well-being of our users," said a TikTok spokesperson, emphasizing the company's commitment to responsible technology use. "This feature is a proactive step to encourage healthier screen time habits among teens." If a user continues scrolling after the meditation session, they will encounter a second, more prominent prompt, making it harder to ignore the suggestion to take a break. The introduction of this feature has already sparked discussions about the balance between social media engagement and responsible technology use among teenagers. The effectiveness of the feature will be closely monitored to assess its impact on user behavior and overall well-being.
