I Used This iPhone Feature to Get My Free Time Back

Summary
Screen Time, a feature available across all Apple devices, enables users to limit or block app usage and notifications during set times.
The user focuses on reducing phone usage before bed, implementing Screen Time’s “Downtime” feature to block certain apps and notifications overnight.
They set schedules or durations for Downtime and receive a notification five minutes before the allocated time.
The “App Limits” feature constrains use of specific apps or categories, such as social media, and limits remain in place until the user overrides them.
Users can extend app limits or hit “Ignore Limit” but will receive a notification if the limit is exceeded, helping them override obsessive scrolling.
Screen Time’s features have vastly reduced the user’s phone usage, and they wish they had discovered the benefits of these features sooner.
The key to reducing screen time is focusing on overriding bad nighttime habits and using innovative company features to limit mindless phone usage.
