Manage how you spend time on iPhone
Use Screen Time to get a better understanding of how you use your iPhone and other iOS devices. You can set app limits, schedule device-free time, and more.
See what you’re doing
With Screen Time, you can view daily and weekly activity reports that detail how you use your iPhone. See how much time you spend using certain apps, which apps you use the most, and how often you pick up your iPhone during the day.
Set App Limits
Based on your activity report, you can set daily limits for specific apps, or for an app category like games or social media.
When you set an App Limit, you receive a notification when your time is almost up, then you can choose to ignore the limit or extend it for the day.
Make time to unplug
Schedule Downtime to take a break from your screen at the same time every day—like during dinner or to ease into bedtime. Or, customize Downtime for each day of the week, depending on your schedule. When Downtime is turned on, only phone calls and the apps you allow are available.
Ready to set up Screen Time? Go to Settings > Screen Time to get started, or see Set screen time, allowances, and limits to learn more.
