Douyin uses real-name authentication users under the age of 14 to directly enter the youth mode after being informed. Real-name users aged 14-18 provide stricter security protection in content recommendation, social networking, search, etc., to protect the healthy growth of the youth group.
At the same time, Douyin cooperates with various institutions to create high-quality content that is more suitable for young people to watch, including popular animation, interesting talents, natural science, humanities and history, painting and craftsmanship, network protection and children's safety, such as: Forbidden City Knowledge Class, Science Open Class, Winter Olympics knowledge quiz, winter vacation charging plan, 2022 winter vacation seedling protection action, etc., help young people "learn knowledge and view the world".
Douyin also has a time reminder function. When the user uses it continuously for 90 minutes, a line of text will appear on the short video being played to remind the user to pay attention to the time; the second is the time lock function, which is turned on by the user setting a password. When the accumulated time reaches 2 hours, the system will be automatically locked, and the user needs to re-enter the password to continue using it. These measures are designed to prevent people from becoming overly addicted to swiping videos.
According to the Douyin data report in 2021, Douyin sends out hundreds of millions of reminders for moderate use every day, and 46% of users who receive reminders often experience a significant drop in usage.
