TikTok To Limit Screen Time For Under 18 Users To 60 Minutes A Day

Video sharing app TikTok has said that a limit of 60 minutes of screen time will be set in a day for every user below 18 years on its platform. This will help teenagers to control their activity on Tiktok. There is also a demand to ban the worldwide popular Tiktok in many countries. Government employees in America and European Union have also been banned for its use.

released by tiktok Press release It states that once the 60-minute limit is reached, users will be asked to enter a passcode to continue watching the video. Cormac Keenan, TikTok’s Head of Trust and Safety, said, “There is no collective clear position on the right limit for screen time. We have consulted with academic research and experts to choose this limit.” This feature may roll out in the coming weeks. However, in this, the option to turn off this default setting can be given for users under 18 years of Tiktok.

Screen time per day will be set at 60 minutes for users below 13 years on this video sharing platform. After this limit is reached, parents must enter a passcode for an additional 30 minutes of screen time. Questions have been raised over the years on Tiktok and other social media platforms due to the impact it is having on the youth. This app is also facing difficulties due to Bytedance, the company running Tiktok, being connected to China.

last month TIC Toc had decided to wind up its remaining business in India. It had a sales support team in India. This team was hired three years ago to support the company’s global sales teams. Due to the risk to the country’s security, the central government had banned about 60 apps related to China about three years ago. These apps included Tiktok. After this, ByteDance had reduced the number of workers in the country. Before the ban, Tiktok was estimated to have around 200 million users in the country. Many Influencers in India were also harmed by this.
