With greater supervision by regulatory authorities, social applications are now increasingly taking a look at how their app is being consumed by teenagers especially.
Just recently the social giant TikTok announced that it was introducing reminders and schedules for screen breaks alongside tips for digital wellbeing. If you spend more than 100 minutes on TikTok on a daily basis you will now receive a notification suggesting a screen break.
Instagram also added value to its teen user experience by recently introducing enhanced supervision tools for parents and guardians that can limit the use of the Instagram mobile app during specific periods.
Parents and guardians can now also invite teenagers to initiate the setup of the new supervision tools. Adults can now also view any accounts that have been reported by teenagers as well.
Instagram will also now provide small nudges if a user continuously keeps on viewing the same type of content in the Instagram Explore page. For example those viewing eating disorder related content will be encouraged to switch to a different topic, thereby limiting any chance to become obsessive over a single topic.
Excessive Obsession
This will help teenage users discover something new and different, rather than solely relying on one specific topic that could be linked with appearance comparisons.
