Most adolescents in the world have a tick account. Currently the app is coming up with a new feature to stop young people at night 'doomscrolling' (that is, unnecessarily scrolling). This feature will show a message throughout the screen instead of showing videos in adolescents overnight. This message will encourage them to calm down, practice breathing and prepare for sleep.
The new 'window' feature of the ticket is designed in a way that will encourage young people to break. It will ask to practice breathing by showing messages throughout the screen and start the music of the slow. Adolescents can continue scrolling by ignoring the notification if they want. But later they will get a second notification, which will encourage them to log out again. Tiktk said that over time, the pop-up message will also add meditation or meditation practice.
In addition, the new update of the ticket will help parents give more control over their child's account. Parents will be able to control the content of their child through parental control.
They will be able to restart the stem feed of adolescents and parents will be able to determine the daily video watch deadline. If this feed is turned on, educational video tickets will be more visible on topics such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics. According to the default rules of the ticket, the screen time will be limited for all users under 5 every day.
In addition, this update contains another new feature, which will help parents to private their children's accounts private. Meanwhile the 'Time Away' feature will allow parents to stop access to the ticket at a specified time (eg at school or meal).
Such parental controls can help reduce the negative impact of social media on the mental health of young people. Because a number of studies have shown that Tiktaks and other social media platforms can have a negative impact on young people's mental health. Again, some other studies show that short -length videos also lack attention.
Member of the Content Advisory Council of the Ticket. Vicky Harrison said, “Tiktak has brought some tools in response to the proposal from adolescents and their families that will help them use social media healthy. The importance of sleep, balanced use as well as further development of parents and children's relationships-all these positive steps will increase.
In addition, Tiktak has said that they do not allow any user to open an account under the age of 5 and stop the night notification for all users below 5 years.
