A lot of efforts have been made to protect kids from the harmful effects of social media, from age restricting some apps to banning kids from using them altogether.
In an effort to get kids to put down their phones, TikTok will now be prompting anyone under the age of 18 to put the phone away and meditate if they are still scrolling after 10 p.m.
According to CNBC, kids will see an alert in their "For You" feed that offers guided meditation to help them fall asleep. Then if they keep scrolling, they'll get hit with a second prompt that fills the whole screen.

We know a few adults that could probably use this feature, too.
The app will be available for all users to turn on, but those under 18 will have it turned on by default.
