Overview
- The new Time and Well‑Being hub replaces TikTok’s screen‑time page and adds an in‑app affirmation journal with 120‑plus prompts, a soothing sound generator and guided breathing.
- Users can earn badges by completing well‑being missions such as staying off the app at night, setting and sticking to a daily screen‑time limit, viewing weekly reports and inviting friends.
- TikTok will surface links to the hub when people use the app late at night or after hitting their daily limit, and teens still scrolling past 10 p.m. will see automatic meditation prompts.
- Parental and teen defaults expand through Family Pairing, including an automatic 60‑minute daily cap for under‑18s and weekly summaries that support monitoring and adjustments.
- Company testing found higher engagement with the new hub versus the prior menu, with the journal proving most popular, as the launch draws scrutiny given prior lawsuits and stricter safety expectations.
