TikTok addicts will be able to further limit their time on the app, the company has said, with a new pair of screen-time settings coming to the service imminently.
Like many of its competitors, TikTok already allows users to set a maximum screen-time allowance for each day, to help them stop idling away hours at a time scrolling through the “for you” page.
Now, the company will also let users set time limits before requiring a break after a certain amount of uninterrupted screen time – a figure the user can set themselves, if they wish.
A new screen-time dashboard will also provide feedback for TikTok users about the amount of time they spend on the app, how often they open it, and a breakdown of their day and night-time usage.
