Almost all of us are guilty of being on our phones too much - if you aren't, what's your secret? - and our doom-scrolling is inevitably worse at night.
TikTok is one of the top culprits when it comes to keeping us glued to our screens, but now it's trying to be part of the solution.
At 10 pm every night, users will have their scrolling interrupted by a mindful meditation exercise. Yep, you heard right!
If you're an adult, you can choose to turn this feature on in your settings, but for teens, it's a default setting. If under-18-year-olds ignore the first reminder, TikTok will show a second, harder-to-dismiss full-screen prompt.
The 'Wind Down' feature launches with a full-screen takeover, complete with calming music and a guided breathing exercise.
If you're thinking, 'yeah…nah, no one's gonna use that', according to TikTok, the majority of teens in countries where the feature has been piloted opted to keep the reminder on.
There's also a new 'Manage Topics' feature, allowing users to dial up or down how much content they see around a particular topic.
You can also now exclude certain types of content altogether with new and improved Smart Keyword Filters. So if you've just come back from Japan and no longer need all the travel hacks your feed was filled with before you left, you can input 'Japan' and 'Travel' and get rid of them.
TikTok is also amping up its 'Family Pairing' controls, allowing parents to see who their teen is following and who follows them. They can also use the 'Time Away' feature to decide when their teens take a break - which we're sure won't cause any hormonal meltdowns whatsoever.
Meanwhile, the app is donating AUD $575,000 to six mental health organisations, including the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand, to assist them in making mental health content on TikTok.
They've also translated their Guardian's Guide into te reo Māori for the first time, to help Kiwi caregivers navigate TikTok with teens.
The changes come off the back of renewed concerns around young people's use of social media, particularly following the release of Netflix's hit show 'Adolescence'.
Last month, the National Party put forward a new members' bill that would ban all under-16s in NZ from using any social media.
