Facebook and Instagram will now feature new tools to help people manage time spent on the platforms. Among the tools are a way to limit notifications and a dashboard that allows users to keep track of how much time they have spent on the platforms.
In a statement, the representatives shared: “We want the time people spend on Instagram and Facebook to be intentional, positive and inspiring.”
“Our hope is that these tools give people more control over the time they spend on our platforms and also foster conversations between parents and teens about the online habits that are right for them.”
Facebook said it was also introducing a daily reminder, whereby users are alerted when they reach the time limit they set for themselves to spend on the app and also an option to deactivate notifications on smartphones.
