The additional features build on TikTok’s existing safety settings for teen accounts. TikTok also is rolling out a sleep reminder to “help people more easily plan when they want to be offline at night.” “In addition to bringing these new features to Family Pairing, everyone will soon be able to set their own customized screen time limits for each day of the week and set a schedule to mute notifications,” Keenan wrote. and those for users aged 16-17 have push notifications disabled from 10 p.m. According to TikTok, accounts for users aged 13-15 already do not receive push notifications from 9 p.m. TikTok also is adding three new parental-control features: the ability for caregivers to use TikTok’s Family Pairing feature to customize daily screen-time limits for teens, including choosing different time limits depending on the day of the week a screen-time dashboard, which provides summaries of time on the app, the number of times TikTok was opened, and a breakdown of total time spent during the day and night and a new setting that lets parents set a schedule to mute notifications for their teen. “While there’s no collectively endorsed position on the ‘right’ amount of screen time or even the impact of screen time more broadly, we consulted the current academic research and experts from the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital in choosing this limit,” Keenan explained. TikTok last year rolled out a prompt in the app to “encourage teens to enable screen time management,” Keenan said, which testing found increased the use of screen time tools by 234%. In addition, the app will send every teen account a weekly inbox notification with a recap of their screen time. If users disable the 60-minute screen-time limit and spend more than 100 minutes on the app per day, TikTok will prompt them to set a daily screen time limit.

Of course, teens 13 and older can simply ignore or opt out of the 60-minute default.
