Give your willpower a hand
Social media apps are designed to keep you scrolling. Do yourself a solid and tell your phone to limit your time on TikTok, Instagram or your weakness of choice.
On iPhone:
- Go to Settings > Screen Time.
- Tap App Limits > Add Limit.
- To set limits for individual apps, tap the category name to see everything there, then select the ones you want to limit.
- Tap Next at the top right, then set the amount of time allowed.
- When you finish setting limits, tap Add.
On Android:
- Open Settings > Digital Wellbeing & parental controls, then tap the chart.
- Select the app you want to limit or tap the hourglass icon.
- Choose how much time you can spend on that app. Then, tap OK or Set.
- The app will switch to black and white when you have one minute. After that, you’re locked out.
⏱️ For the record, you can override it once time runs out, but don’t! You set that limit for a reason. Speaking of time, the past, present and future walked into a bar. It was tense.
