TikTok rolls out a new 60-minute daily screen time limit feature for both teens and families. This move comes in response to growing concerns about minor safety on the platform.
TikTok will roll out a 60-minute daily screen time limit on all accounts whose users are under the age of 18 in the coming weeks as it faces growing scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers to improve safety on its platform.
“If the 60-minute limit is reached, teens will be prompted to enter a passcode in order to continue watching, requiring them to make an active decision to extend that time,” Tiktok head of trust and safety Cormac Keenan said in a blog post on Wednesday. “We’re also prompting teens to set a daily screen time limit if they opt out of the 60-minute default and spend more than 100 minutes on TikTok in a day.
