Instagram and Facebook Are Launching New Tools To Limit Social Media Time You’ll be able to specify a time limit for Instagram and Facebook usuage and see how much time you’ve spent on each app.
On both Facebook and Instagram, you’ll see be able to see an activity dashboard that shows average time spent on each app that week and a breakdown of activity by day. There’s also a “daily reminder” option, which you can set to alert you after you’ve used the app for a certain amount of time. Additionally, you can mute push notifications temporarily (for as little as 15 minutes and up to eight hours), which prevents you from seeing pop-ups on your homescreen. (However, you’ll still see notifications when you open the app.) The time management features will roll out to both apps’ users over the next few weeks. You will need to set daily reminders and mute push notifications separately for each app. In Instagram, go to the settings page > Your Activity, and on Facebook go to the Settings & Privacy page > Your Time on Facebook. There you’ll be able to view the dashboard and specify a window of time for app usage and muted notifications. The dashboard does not include wed browser (desktop computer or laptop) activity, and the new notification options aren’t available when you’re browsing Facebook on a computer. The idea behind the new Facebook and Instagram features is to prevent passive consumption like endlessly scrolling through your Instagram feed, which studies show leads to people feeling worse.
