'I've probably learned more on TikTok than I did at school. And that is not because I didn't listen at school, although that probably could have a little bit to do with that!'
One of the UK's top TikTok creators says it can be a great learning tool - after a poll for the BBC indicated many young people use it for hours daily.
on behalf of Radio 1 and BBC Newsbeat. It asked a representative sample of 2,719 British young people aged 16-24 about their social media usage.Of those daily users, most reported using video-based platforms, with 39% saying that they were on TikTok for more than three hours a day.
"But now ITV News and BBC News have TikTok accounts, so you're not only looking at funny videos, you can then scroll and see what's going on in the news.""I do think TikTok is a good distraction. Olly Parker, from mental health charity YoungMinds, said the findings of the BBC's survey echoed its own research.
Jess D'Cruz, from charity MIND, said social media can be great for "keeping in touch" and accessing interesting content, "we know that spending too much time online can sometimes make our mental health worse". "I've probably learned more on TikTok than I did at school. And that is not because I didn't listen at school, although that probably could have a little bit to do with that!"Looking ahead, Matt Navarra, a social media expert, says the app is so popular that it will be interesting to see how companies like Netflix try to "claw back" time people spend on TikTok.
