If you spend a lot of time on your phone browsing Facebook, you might be wondering how many hours of your life you spend on social media. There is a way to see how much time you spend on it, and you might be surprised by the numbers.
Social media apps have become an addiction. Both mobile phone manufacturers, such as iOS, and apps have taken care to limit excessive use of social media. Instagram recently added a feature that can track and limit your activity there. Facebook has followed suit, adding to its smartphone app the ability to track the time you spend on it.
This is a fairly recent feature added to the Facebook apps, and should be available to all users by now. It hasn't been added to the web version yet.
To track the time you spend surfing Facebook, open the Facebook app on your mobile phone and tap the three horizontal lines on the right side of the menu. Scroll down and tap “Settings and Privacy.” You’ll see this option expand. Look there for the option “Your Time on Facebook.” Tap it.
On the “Your Time on Facebook” screen, you’ll see how much time you’ve spent using the app. Depending on how passionate you are, you’ll see some numbers you might not believe.
If you can't resist the thoughtless use, then you can limit the time you spend on Facebook by tapping on the “Set daily reminder” option. Choose how much time you want to spend on Facebook each day and tap on “Set reminder”
