TikTok is introducing a new mindfulness tool to help teenage users wind down before bed and move away from the app’s feed.

The video sharing platform’s Wind Down tool will automatically turn on if a TikTok user under 16 is on the app after 10pm, interrupting the For You feed with a full screen takeover and playing calming music.
