TikTok announced on Wednesday that it's revamping its screen-time management page with new features designed to help users unwind and recharge while using the app.
"These features build on the existing suite we have to help people customize their experiences on TikTok," a TikTok spokesperson told CNET. "Whether that be to spend more time unwinding, or (viewing) more of the content that appeals to them, each individual's experience online is unique to them and their preferences."
The new Time and Well-Being section features a positive affirmation journal with over 120 downloadable prompts, as well as a sound generator that plays calming sounds and provides breathing exercises.
Users can complete well-being missions to earn badges that support mindful habits, such as staying off of TikTok at night and limiting screen time on a daily or weekly basis.
When developing the feature, TikTok consulted with experts and its TikTok Youth Council for guidance. Teen audiences on TikTok already have 50 preset safety functions linked to their accounts.

"This idea, born thanks to the TikTok Youth Council, recognizes the impact young people can have when given the right platform," said Tomáš Čermák, a member of the advisory group, in a statement. "I look forward to seeing the change the Time and Well-being space will bring, and I hope it helps teens and adults alike to balance their online lives."
"As we look to 2026, we will be making a $100,000 contribution to the Tech Coalition SafeOnline Research Fund to support their work at the intersection of young people, researchers, and digital well-being," a TikTok spokesperson told CNET.
Earlier this year, the social media app introduced parental controls and other features to help parents monitor what their children are viewing and sharing. TikTok also announced that it would allow users to limit the AI-generated content they see on the app.
