TikTok is rolling out a new screen time limit for users under 18. On Wednesday, the social media platform announced "changes to help teens manage their time on TikTok." Every account belonging to a TikTok user under 18 years old will soon automatically set to a 60-minute daily screen limit, the company said. There will still be an option for teen TikTokers to continue using the app beyond the 60-minute limit – but they will have to enter a prompted passcode, "requiring them to make an active decision to extend that time," Cormac Keenan, head of trust and safety at TikTok, wrote in Wednesday's announcement.
