TikTok is rolling out an expanded suite of digital well‑being features—like guided meditation after 10 PM, Screen Time dashboards, break reminders, and Well‑Being Missions—that are marketed as tools to help users manage screen habits. Ironically, critics warn these features might deepen engagement, making the app feel even more compelling and habit‑forming.
TikTok introduces meditation prompts for late-night users under 18, screen-time analytics, guided breaks during viewing sessions, and interactive Well‑Being Missions with badges. While intended to support mindful usage, experts caution the nudges may act as engagement loops rather than truly reducing addictive behavior.
