Think of the Digital Wellbeing feature as a budget, but for digital habits instead of spending habits. You can view your overall usage, the amount of time you've spent on your apps every day, the number of notifications you've received, and the number of times you've unlocked your phone or tablet. You can even set a timer for each app to help you keep track of how long you're using them.

1. Navigate to and open Settings, and then tap Digital Wellbeing.
2. Tap App timers, then tap Apps and app categories, and select your desired apps. Or, tap All in the top left corner to select everything.

5. To remove an app timer from the Digital Wellbeing page, tap the app on the App timers tracker, then tap Apps and app categories, and then tap the red minus icon next to the app.
