Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor TikTok, in an effort to show it’s being a good internet citizen, introduced new features to cap the time kids spend on the video app.

In the next few weeks, every TikTok account belonging to a user under the age of 18 will automatically be set to a 60-minute daily screen time limit.

If the 60-minute limit is reached, teens will be prompted to enter a passcode in order to continue watching, “requiring them to make an active decision to extend that time,” Cormac Keenan, TikTok’s head of trust and safety, wrote in a blog post.

For TikTok users under 13, the daily screen time limit will also be set to 60 minutes, and for these accounts a parent or guardian will need to set or enter an existing passcode to enable 30 minutes of additional watch time.
