Has anyone used the ‘Screen Time’ function on their iPhone?

[ThatPlanWorked]

I came across the ‘screen time’ section on my iPhone, it tracks usage and I am absolutely horrified at how long I use my phone (she says using yet more time on mumsnet!). Will be setting the time limit thing to change my ways! Anyone else shocked?

Yep! I’ve sent mine to 3 hours and it’s really helping. 3 hours sounds a lot but you get through it quicker than you think! I’ve also set Facebook and Mumsnet to one hour each so I don’t use my full 3 hours on Mumsnet 😵.

Yep! I got a notification today to say my average was 6 hours.
I'm ashamed 😭

Oh I've just realised my DS plays his games on my phone so I'm not totally to blame for the 6 hours. Still not great tho

I was utterly horrified by my stats and have now set usage limits

Mine says 43 minutes but I know that’s definitely wrong as I’ve literally been in my phone all day.

It’s definitely given me a wake up call! Around 3 hours a day for me. Shocking

How do you find this horror please?

Settings, see pic

It's not on mine, 6S. Probably too old!

God yes, I’m appalled.

Not on mine either! 6s. I only just upgraded!

Just downloaded an app called Moments which tracks screen time. I'll probably regret it tomorrow when I see the reality 😬

I’ve got a 6s and have it- have you downloaded the latest iOS update?

I was horrified by mine so switched it off again, easier if I don’t know!

Actually I ought to put the limits on really, it’s all such a waste of time.

Yes. A real eye opener. Promptly ordered this book.
PS I have an iPhone 6S. It's on the newest iOS update.

Mines at 3 and a half hour average which I thought was pretty bad. Just set a limit on social media as they are my worst.

I thought it was quite interesting. I’ve been working on reducing my and got it down to one and a half hours a day last week.

I will definitely be trying to limit my usage. Sad how addictive the screen is!

Ahh I need to updat my phone then. Thanks

Update

My average is 4 hours. Horrifying really. Most of that is of an evening when the dc are in bed though and dh is watching tv.
