Use TikTok’s Time Away Feature to Force Teens to Take a Break From TikTok
1 min read
Summary
TikTok has introduced a new feature called Time Away for teen accounts to redirect young users who are scrolling close to bedtime.
Managed through TikTok’s Family Pairing feature, parents are able to set the schedules for Time Away.
The feature stops the TikTok For You feed and will instead play calming music while displaying messages to encourage relaxation and sleep.
If the user chooses to ignore this, Time Away will restrict access to the app.
TikTok already offers Screen Time to allow users to limit their daily usage and to set scheduled breaks, and Sleep Reminders to mute notifications for a set period of time to support uninterrupted rest.
These features are also available for TikTok on Android phones.
