TikTok To Launch Meditation Feature To Help Users Sleep

For teens under the age of 18, meditation will be turned on by default.

TikTok is releasing a new feature aimed at keeping teens safe while using the app.

The social network is launching in-app guide meditation exercises.

For teens ages 17 and younger, meditation will be turned on by default. If a teen is using the app after 10pm, their ‘For You Feed’ will be interrupted by a guided meditation exercise that encourages them to wind down for the night.

The meditation features a calming screen and soft music alongside breathing exercises. It aims to help users improve their sleep quality and encourage them to put the phone down during the late-night hours.

If teens choose to ignore the message and continue to use the app, they will see a second full-screen prompt that will nudge them to go to sleep.
