TikTok will now show guided meditation prompts to users under 18 after 10PM, aiming to encourage healthier screen habits at night. Previously, the platform tested a ‘wind down’ feature with calming music for teens under 16, but the updated feature includes meditation and is shown by default. Adults who activate ‘Sleep Hours’ in Screen Time settings can also receive the prompts. During testing, 98% of users under 16 kept the meditation feature after their first try. While teens can initially dismiss the 10PM reminder, a later full-screen prompt is harder to ignore. This update comes amid TikTok’s efforts to address safety concerns as it faces regulatory pressure in the US.
