8 Screen Time

Curbing the use of iOS devices and encouraging a healthier balance of screen-on time is an important focus in iOS 12. Apple has introduced an appropriately named new feature to help. It’s called Screen Time. Screen Time details how much time you’re spending on your device and breaks things down by individual apps and categories. It also shows you how many times you check your iPhone every day and lets you see which apps are sending you the most notifications.

To help curb your use, Screen Time gives you some new management options. Downtime lets you schedule time when only certain notifications and calls will come through. App Limits lets you create limits for certain apps and will remind you when you’ve been using a certain app too long. These features will also be useful to parents in managing their children’s devices.
