Timer in TikTok

When you spend a little too much time on TikTok, a timer kicks in that locks the app. That’s the new plan of the social networking app. The function is especially for minors. The application locks if more than one hour per day is spent on the network. TikTok is especially popular among young people. Videos can be viewed and shared on the platform. According to TikTok, the timer should ensure that users are more aware of how to use the platform.

When young people decide not to use the timer, they are advised to set a timer when TikTok is used for 100 minutes a day. Young people should also be made aware of their use by means of a weekly overview. When parental controls are enabled by parents or guardians, through a linked profile, the parents or guardians can also set a timer. They also see how much time the minor spends on TikTok. The rollout of the feature will start soon.
