Pinterest will warn kids not to use its app during school hours

Pinterest is testing a new prompt designed to encourage kids aged 13-17 during school hours—from 8AM to 3PM—to put their screens down, aiming to help them focus on the present rather than their devices. This proactive measure mirrors parental strategies used in gaming platforms like Nintendo and aligns with efforts by schools across Europe and regions such as New York through a $1 million grant to the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). The goal is to foster healthier online habits among users.
