TikTok says to add screen time limits for teens
Khaleej Times
|March 12, 2025
TikTok said Tuesday it would allow parents to limit the time their teens spend on the app as the Chinese-owned social network confronts political fallout from rising claims that excessive screen time is damaging adolescents’ mental health.

The feature, set for immediate launch in the EU with the US to follow later, allows parents to set time limits or establish time windows for being on TikTok, the company said in a statement on its website.
TikTok's update follows in the footsteps of competitor Instagram, owned by Facebook parent company Meta, which launched a similar feature several months ago.
There will be no way to get around TikTok's "Time Away" block without the adult parent deactivating it from their own account.
