Facebook-owned photo-messaging app Instagram is now rolling out its own
"Your Activity" feature that would track how much time users spend on
the app.
The feature, which lies inside the "hamburger" icon on
the upper right corner of your profile page, includes tools for setting
daily time limits and the option to temporarily mute push notifications,
The Verge reported on Wednesday.
The feature was announced in
August aiming to give users more control over how they interact with
social media that may be harmful to the mental health and well-being of
the users if used excessively.
Facebook is expected to follow
Instagram and add the feature to its activity dashboard, which is to be
called "Your time on Facebook".
A similar feature called "Screen
Time" has been introduced by Apple on its iOS, and with Google also
releasing a "Digital Wellness" dashboard with Android 9.0, tech
companies are thinking about helping users better manage their time
using apps, the report added.
The feature is expected to be available for all Instagram users soon.
