TikTok has announced the launch of the ‘Time and Well-Being’ feature for users. It brings to users important ways to spend time on TikTok with proper digital habits.
The decision to launch these features reflects the company’s commitment to developing a positive and balanced online experience. Let’s say that, in a way, these features allow users not to be addicted to the platform and rather spend time wisely and refrain from negative influences.
TikTok facilitates users with Time and Well-being features
TikTok is stressing a proper digital experience for users with its Time and Well-being features. Recently, the company brought Family Pairing for TikTok users, which allows teenage users’ parents to remotely control the former’s activities. Likewise, the Chinese video-sharing app also brought a meditation feature for teens to help them wind down at night.
The platform says that by launching these types of features, it’s bringing more experience for users to help them “practice mindfulness, find relaxation, and develop healthier digital habits.”
Building Positive Digital Habits
The Time and Well-being feature makes it easier for users to relax and unwind. The feature replaces the users’ previous screen time management page and offers new features such as:
- An affirmational journal: This allows you to set your intention for the day. You can download and share over 120 different affirmation cards with other users.
- A soothing sound generator: It brings sounds of rain, waves, and white noise that help calm the senses, mind, and soul. TikTok references that a survey has it that TikTok users are 14% more likely than non-users to listen to music to sleep or relax.
- Breathing exercises: It features different types of mindful breathing, again, to help users relax.

More Digital Well-being and Mindful Experience
TikTok is rolling out new Well-being Missions for users to help users develop long-term positive digital habits. When you complete missions, you earn badges that reinforce mindful behaviors.
- Sleep Hours Mission: It’s an eight-week mission where you grow a virtual well-being tree, a daily screen time badge for staying within the limits. Likewise, there’s also a weekly mission to check screen time reports to make a review of how you have spent your time on TikTok.
- Well-being Ambassador Mission: You can also invite your friends to participate in the experience and foster positive digital habits
TikTok has developed these missions by using insights from the Digital Wellness Lab, TikTok research, and feedback from its Youth Council. Research has shown that two-thirds of teenagers find tools for managing digital time useful.
TikTok is helping users engage properly with the time and well-being space
TikTok says that its aim with the Time and Well-Being feature is to make space more accessible and visible to the community. Going forward, the company says that it plans to bring more features to make these tools an active part of users’ everyday lives on TikTok.
By implementing these features, it’s also actively responsive, helping users to relax, unwind, and develop a more balanced relationship with technology.
Time and Well-being is TikTok’s reaffirmation of its dedication to both entertainment and responsibility towards community, and a way of ensuring that the app supports users’ well-being.
Through this, TikTok also reaffirms its dedication to not just entertaining its community, but also to ensuring the platform remains a space that supports their well-being.”

Conclusion
After the TikTok ban in Nepal, the company expressed its commitment to make the platform a healthy and positive space for users. Since then, the company has come up with various community-related initiatives promoting business and entrepreneurship, too.
In recent times, it’s also promoting a healthy digital habit for users with the aim of making their time on TikTok creative and useful. The Time and Well-Being feature is the latest testament to that. Let’s hope that the users exploit these features to their best.
