In 2018, Facebook announced new tools to help people manage their time on Facebook and Instagram – an activity dashboard, a daily reminder and a new way to limit notifications. The company claims that these tools have been made with collaboration and inspiration from leading mental health experts and organisations. These tools provide more control to people over the time they spend on these platforms.
As the name suggests, the activity dashboard allows you to monitor the average time that you spend using the app on that device. You can tap any bar to see your total time for that day. Apart from this, the company also rolled out a daily reminder tool that allows you to set usage time limits for apps and it gives you an alert when you’ve reached the amount of time you want to spend on that app for that day. You can change or cancel the reminder at any time. If you’ve been spending too much time on the Facebook app and want to use the daily reminder tool to limit your usage time, you can follow these steps.
Open Facebook app in your Android or iOS smartphone.
Tap on the Menu icon.
Scroll down and tap on Settings & Privacy.
Under the Preferences section, tap on Your time on Facebook option.
Swipe left and tap on Set Daily Time Reminder.
Turn on the toggle next to Daily time reminder.
Pick the time limit after which you want to receive the notification alert. You will also be able to see your average time per day on this device in the last week.
