Smartphones have become a vital part of our life, so much so that we now spend even our waking moments glancing at notifications we may have received through the night. In the past several years, health professionals have started voicing warnings about the dangers posed by the usage of smartphones. Not only does this cause severe damage to the eyes, but overexposure to the radiation can also have dangerous effects.
The impact is considerably more substantial when the younger demographic utilizes smartphones for the whole day. The average age of the smartphone user has fallen considerably in the past two to three years, and it’s pretty clear to see the numerous causes of addiction that are hurting youth nowadays. Instead of playing outdoors, youngsters today are found spending limitless hours on social media and multiplayer games.
To offset the mounting worries, Google rolled out the Digital Wellbeing feature on Android smartphones, to allow individuals to track their smartphone users every day. This also helps parents to keep a monitor how much their kids use their smartphones and make sure they don’t push the limitations.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to check how much time you spend on your Android smartphone.

Open the ‘Settings’ app on your Android smartphone.
Scroll through the list and tap on the ‘Digital Wellbeing and Parental Controls’ option.
You will now see a graphical representation of your smartphone usage for the ongoing day.
Here, you can also set time limits for your smartphone, in which case, the device will turn off automatically and remind you to unwind or stay focused on the task at hand.
There is also a ‘Reduced Interruptions’ feature that allows you to set a time limit in which you will not see any notifications so that you can complete your work without distractions.
The Digital Wellbeing function is a blessing in disguise for all Android users, and we hope this brings about a shift in the usage pattern among all the users.
