> If you are a real-name authenticated user under the age of 14, you can find that you are already in the youth mode when you open Douyin. You can only use it for 40 minutes a day, and you cannot use it from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 the next day.
> In the youth mode, we have also prepared wonder-ful content for you, such as novel and interesting science experiments, exhibitions in museums and art galleries, beautiful scenery all over the country, historical knowledge explanations, etc.
