With the recent surge in smartphone ownership, people are more than a little addicted to swiping and tapping screens. To help with smartphone addiction, Facebook and Instagram have introduced a new tool that will help people limit the time spent on the social networking apps.
Users can now set a daily reminder to give themselves an alert when they've reached the amount of time they want to spend on the app for the day.
The social network also introduced two additional tools: an activity dashboard and a new way to limit notifications.
The tools were said to be developed based on collaboration and inspiration from leading mental health experts and organizations, academics, Facebook's extensive research, and feedback from its community.
Hopefully, this does translate into less smartphone addiction.
Instagram is part of Facebook and they don't care about addictions, they just want to look good to make more money. Google up 'Instagram and Facebook is making people crazy' and you will be motivated to quit them.
