TikTok is telling users to stop scrolling and ditch the app in a bid to curb smartphone addiction. Influencers with thousands, and in some case millions, of followers, make videos that are posted and promoted by the account @TikTokTips, which is run by the site. The videos feature earnest pleas from internet celebrities talking about the benefits of logging off and putting the phone down — including suggestions the tech-focused users should consider venturing outside. At the same time has TikTok launched an app towards parents that educates them in what TikTok actually is. They can talk with their kids about the service.
