TikTok will interrupt teen feeds with meditation after 10pm
- TikTok has introduced a “Meditation in Sleep Hours” feature that interrupts the feeds of users aged 13-17 with a guided meditation if they use the app after 10 p.m., encouraging them to wind down.
- The feature is enabled by default for teens, with users receiving a second, harder-to-dismiss prompt if they continue scrolling, while adults can opt in manually.
- This initiative responds to concerns over TikTok’s impact on teen mental health amid lawsuits and widespread reports of social media affecting sleep and productivity among teens.
- Alongside this launch, TikTok donated $2.3 million in ad credits to 31 mental health organizations to support youth wellbeing.
