Tiktok recently begged experimentation with a meditation feature in the application that encouraged adolescents to “relax.” Now, the company is doing the official function for all users and lights it by default for all adolescents under 18 years.
With adolescents they will hit a “guided meditation exercise” of full screen when they try to move after the 10 pm apparently, the notice is something that can choose to ignore, but the adolescents who do will find a second “more difficult to rule out” immediately. Tiktok adult users can also access meditations in the application through application screen time controls (the function will not be predetermined for adults).
The company indicates that its initial “sleep hours” tests were successful, with 98 percent of adolescents, opting to maintain night meditation configuration. Tiktok’s previous attempts to limit screen time have a somewhat different history. The documents as part of a lawsuit against the company showed that dozens spent about 107 minutes a day in the application, even when the screen time was established in a limit of 60 minutes.
Since then, Tiktok has reinforced some of its security characteristics, including its parental controls, amid the growing scrutiny of the company. Tiktok’s fate in the United States is still official, in Limbo, since President Donald Trump signed or a deadline to prohibit the application last month. The terms of a final agreement that will allow it to remain in the country permanently have not yet been announced, thinking that there are several.
