Pinterest is testing a bounce notification, reminding teens in the US and Canada to stop using the app during school hours from 8am to 3pm on weekdays. The notice is only aimed at users aged 13-17 and is addressed to millions of accounts, according to information from The Verge.
Focusation is a great thing. Live in the moment by temporarily leaving Pinterest - the warning line written.
Pinterest claims to be the first technology platform to offer such an active feature to help young people form a healthy habit of using social media.
Bill ready - CEO Pinterest also expressed support for policies to ban phones in schools.
Along with the above campaign, Pinterest announced a $1 million sponsorship grant to the International Educational Technology Association (ISTE). This money will be used to support school leaders in US states to build a healthy digital culture in schools.
