TikTok has announced a series of changes it says are designed to protect its teenage users’ wellbeing.
Users aged 13-15 will not receive push notifications from 21:00 – and for 16- and 17-year-olds, from 22:00.
This is to help them focus on work, study, relaxation and sleep, the video-sharing app says. It is also changing its default settings so 16- and 17-year-olds will have to opt in to receive direct messages.
A previous announcement from TikTok restricted direct messaging to over-16s only.
