TikTok Rolls Out New Tools Aimed at Curbing Teen Scrolling Time

TikTok is limiting mindless scrolling with new features.

Doomscrolling, the nickname given to constantly reading (usually stressful) content on our always-available phones, can ruin our sleep and apparently cause bathroom-related issues. But it can be tough to put those phones down. TikTok announced on Wednesday that it’s revamping its screen time management page with some new features to limit the amount of time teens spend scrolling — whether it’s worrisome content or not.

The platform is targeting teens by adding a Time and Well-Being section. This new feature includes a positive affirmation journal with over 120 prompts you can download, and a sound generator that plays calming sounds and offers breathing exercises.

You’ll be able to complete well-being missions to earn badges that support mindful habits, such as staying off of TikTok at night and limiting screen time on a daily or weekly basis.

When developing the feature, TikTok consulted with experts and its TikTok Youth Council for guidance.

«This idea, born thanks to the TikTok Youth Council, recognizes the impact young people can have when given the right platform,» said Tomáš Čermák, a member of the advisory group, in a statement. «I look forward to seeing the change the Time and Well-being space will bring, and I hope it helps teens and adults alike to balance their online lives.»

Earlier this year, the social media app introduced parental controls and other features to help parents monitor what their children are viewing and sharing.

Recently, TikTok also announced that it would allow users to limit the AI-generated content they see on the app.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

Among the services offering these capabilities:

Ukraine E-SIM — https://ukraine.esim.verum.im
London E-SIM — https://london.esim.verum.im
E-SIM Africa — https://africa.esim.verum.im

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

Final Thoughts

Travel should be about freedom — not hunting for Wi-Fi or worrying about phone bills.

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
