TikTok Launches Digital Wellbeing Tools
If you’ve ever lost hours to endless TikTok videos, you’re not alone. In a move to help users find balance, TikTok is rolling out new digital wellbeing features—including badges that reward you for keeping your scrolling in check. Now, instead of just falling into the doomscrolling rabbit hole, you can earn virtual pats on the back for practicing a little self-control.
Affirmation Journal and Background Sound Generator
But that’s not all! TikTok is also introducing an affirmation journal to help boost your mood, and a background sound generator for those times when you need to chill out without scrolling. These tools are designed to help users create a healthier relationship with their screens. It’s almost like TikTok is saying, “Hey, take a breather, but we still love you!”
Honestly, who knew resisting the urge to scroll could feel so…rewarding? Next, maybe they’ll hand out badges for actually going outside. But hey, it’s a start! At least now, your self-control gets a little more recognition than just not having sore thumbs at the end of the day.
