Take Control of Your Phone Use with Screen Time Settings

Ever feel like your phone is stealing your attention? You’re not alone. Between social media, notifications, and endless scrolling, it’s easy to lose track of time. The good news? Your phone has built-in tools to help you take back control.

Why Digital Wellbeing Matters
Our devices are designed to keep us engaged but sometimes they end up keeping us from the things that matter most. That's where Screen Time (on iPhones) and Digital Wellbeing (on Android) come in. These features can help you better understand your habits and make small changes that have a big impact.

How to Check and Use Screen Time Settings:

📱 iPhone:
Go to Settings > Screen Time

  • See how much time you’re spending on each app

  • Set daily app limits

  • Schedule "Downtime" to pause notifications and non-essential apps

📱 Android:
Go to Settings > Digital Wellbeing & Parental Controls

  • View daily and weekly screen time stats

  • Set focus mode and app timers

  • Create "bedtime mode" for better sleep

Tech Aid Tip:
Try setting a 30-minute limit on your most-used social app this week. See how it feels and what you do with that extra time
