Concerned about the well-being of its community, the social network TikTok recently announced a new set of measures to limit the time spent on its app. The goal is for users to develop positive digital habits.
After entering the daily limits on the use of the TikTok app, the social network will now allow you to limit the usage periods. All so that users feel in control of the time they spend daily consuming the content of this social network.
TikTok wants you to take breaks from using its app
With an application to be implemented in the coming weeks, TikTok users will be able and should restrict themselves to using this social network. For this, the interval function will be implemented.
This novelty will send notifications or reminders to users to take a break from consuming the social network. These alerts will be sent by the TikTok app once the continuous usage time limit is exceeded.
The limits for the continued use of TikTok will be set by the users themselves in the application settings. In fact, they will define the rules that they must follow to reduce their dependence on the social network.
You should conscientiously take your choices and your well-being as a priority. To this end, the TikTok app offers a dashboard where you will have detailed information about your app usage habits.
There you can find metrics about the daily time you spend on TikTok, the number of times you’ve opened the app in a day or even a summary of the day and night content consumption. In addition, the user may be notified weekly to review these metrics.
For young people aged 13-17, the social network will implement a new alert system to reduce their dependence. If this group spends more than 100 minutes per day on the app, the next time they open the app, they will be notified that there is a tool to limit app usage.
In short, TikTok is concerned with the well-being of its users, and for this, you want a moderate use of its app. It will now be up to users to make use of the tools at their disposal to enhance their mental and physical health.
