With the new iOS 12 updates has come a new feature called Screen Time that allows us to monitor how much time we spend on our phones. Basically, its a reminder that we spend too much time. It categorizes the time we spend on our phones into social networking, entertainment, reading & reference, productivity, creativity, education, health & fitness, and other.
This information gives users the idea of how much time we spend on each category and app. Most of us spend our time on our phone scrolling through Instagram, swiping through the filters on Snapchat to find the best one or stalking our old high school friends on Facebook. This function is an effort made by Apple to help users to control the amount of time we dedicate to our phones.
