[{"selector":"#anim-79ea7ca1-3427-4a2f-9aaf-90b156f6f2ce","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-113.58024%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9e338a2f-c982-4983-b44d-919032a91058","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-711cb13e-a75d-4cf4-a9d1-9fc9d985e9e6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a25b34f-4f03-4d92-a470-3d8ee8c46977 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

TikTok revealed Thursday the steps it would take to help the community's digital health.

[{"selector":"#anim-98d393b1-2263-416f-8511-2d9793c3046a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.81482%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bea57df7-fbdc-470d-bec0-91ea32ec7b92","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-182814d9-edf3-4a82-849e-102c0cd2e9b6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e2bbedce-e485-42ae-af53-544f95468bb6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.808517161145999%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

All TikTok users soon will be able schedule screen time breaks using the app.

[{"selector":"#anim-d738daeb-5820-42d3-bd6d-e6650d1abf06","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.81482%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-93a7f21c-0f1d-466d-b70a-948b2e81fca5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4feea555-2b62-4a85-85c0-6afaeec28006","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-51740b97-2e5b-47d7-8ca9-812256b49b51 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(22.395833219559055%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

After the timer expires, a prompt will be displayed on the screen reminding them that they need to take a rest.

[{"selector":"#anim-0732daa6-4a5d-471c-8a48-ac49dd013461","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.81482%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-98ff125a-1a5a-4043-98cb-5069142dde16","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1221ead-ff6c-4dfd-8f64-34843c005f6a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9900a386-5b35-498f-a668-2ba69ed4927d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

TikTok has several preset timers (e.g., 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes), but you can also set your own time.

[{"selector":"#anim-3fe93006-1fcb-4cff-8f43-47ff5bf7ed9f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-112.0482%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-445fd9fd-6af4-4f5f-b15e-67038318fefa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7815f035-edf2-43e1-8029-c5e6ccbec358","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53ea2025-1e69-4bbd-8e1c-adbb7b917959 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

TikTok has also added a screen-time dashboard to the Digital Wellbeing section in the settings menu.

[{"selector":"#anim-f24dca03-0ea5-48b2-ba04-188ce3b26cb3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-105.67568%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f30d3db9-b546-4b4b-a050-32a688133b65","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6cb1c498-b085-4d34-8d26-64aa88abe7cc","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-afe0029e-28a0-431d-9f4c-6044b3d06878 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(29.78426383672256%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

TikTok said that it will be releasing a screen-time dashboard within its own app, similar to those Apple and Google offer natively on iOS devices and Android.
