Take Control! Learn How to Set Usage Limits on iPhone Apps

SAPO14 September 2026 at 20:35

The iPhone has a built-in feature in the operating system that allows users to monitor the time they spend on different applications. Through this tool, it is possible to identify which apps are used the most during the day.

In addition to showing usage statistics, this feature also allows users to set daily limits for the time spent on each application. This way, users can better control their habits and avoid spending excessive time on certain apps.

The feature is available directly in the iPhone settings, with no need to install any additional application. Users can customize the limits according to their individual needs and preferences.

This tool is part of a set of digital well-being measures made available by Apple on its devices, allowing for a more balanced and conscious experience in the use of technology.

Why this matters

iPhone users in the region can directly benefit from this feature to control the time they spend on social media and other apps, which is particularly relevant for parents who want to limit children's device usage, following a growing trend of concerns about digital well-being and productivity.
