The service has announced that it is adding a number of new features to stop you from disappearing inside its infinite feed of addictive short-form videos. A new tool will add a safeguard to existing daily limits by showing a reminder after using the app for a long time. If a teenager spends more than 100 minutes in the app in a single day, they will be forced to use the screen time limiting tool.

A new screen time dashboard is being added by TikTok. The amount of time the app has been opened, a breakdown of daytime and nighttime usage, and an overall counter for the amount of time spent in the app daily are included in the statistics.

TikTok's new features follow in the footsteps of other apps that help users manage their time on them. There are limits to the number of apps that can be downloaded on Apple's and Google's platforms. They are helpful additions for services that use advertising to maximize user attention.
