What will TikTok show users under 18 after 10PM?

TikTok is taking a surprising new step — not with a dance trend, but with guided bedtime meditation.

The platform has announced it will interrupt nighttime scrolling for users under 18 with calming “wind-down” prompts, now including soothing meditation sessions. The feature kicks in after 10PM, encouraging young users to log off and relax.

Initially, TikTok’s sleep prompt only played soft music and was limited to teens under 16. But now, the update will be rolled out by default to all underage users, and even adults can opt in via “Sleep Hours” in their Screen Time settings.

The goal? To combat late-night screen addiction, improve sleep habits, and soften the app’s reputation for keeping people hooked at all hours. Whether teens will actually close the app is another question — but at least now, they’ll hear “breathe in... and out” instead of “one more scroll.”
