What Digital Wellbeing is for
Digital Wellbeing is a built-in tool that tracks how you use your phone and gives you ways to use it less. It suits people who want to see where their screen time goes, then cut back on particular apps or at particular hours of the day.
It lives in the Digital Wellbeing entry in your phone's Settings menu. The tracking side and the limiting side are separate features that share one screen.
Seeing how you use your phone
The daily view shows how often you use each app, how many notifications you receive, and how often you check the phone or unlock the device. Those three counts give you a record of habits rather than a single total.
Use the daily view to find the apps that take up the most of your attention before you set any limits.
Setting daily limits on apps
Daily app timers let you set a limit on how much time each app can be used in a day. You choose the limit for each app separately.
Timers suit apps you open out of habit. Set them after checking the daily view so you limit the apps that actually take up your time.
Winding down with Bedtime mode
Bedtime mode reminds you to switch off at night, on a schedule you set. During those hours the screen fades to grayscale and Do Not Disturb silences notifications.
The two effects run together, so the phone is quieter and less colorful when you are meant to be sleeping.
Focus mode and automatic schedules
Focus mode pauses the apps you pick with a single tap, so they stop pulling your attention while you do something else. It works as a switch you turn on yourself.
You can also set a schedule that turns Focus mode on automatically, for example during work, school or home hours.
