Do you feel like you spend too much time on Facebook and Instagram? You will soon be able to check and control this yourself!
The Facebook Newsroom is now introducing some new functions that will soon be available on both platforms.
New features include an activity dashboard , daily reminder notification restriction feature .
What do the new functions bring me?
Facebook and Instagram are time wasters.
You keep looking at your smartphone as soon as you hear a notification tone, often even when you actually have more important things to do. Many users have already said goodbye to the platforms when they realized how much time they were wasting. Facebook is aware of this and therefore wants to help users see the platforms in a more positive light again. In addition to content, this also includes the time factor. That's why the new functions are intended to help you use the platforms within an individually sensible time frame.
on the dashboard how much time you spent on Facebook and Instagram per day and on average.

With the daily reminder you can set the maximum amount of time you want to spend on the platforms per day. If the time is exceeded you will be notified.

limiting notifications allows you to temporarily turn off notifications when you need to concentrate on something important like cooking, the boss's lecture, or traffic.

How do I find the new features?
These will soon be available on all devices.
To do this, simply tap “Settings” in the respective app. On Facebook you then go to “Your time on Facebook”.
On Instagram you then go to “Your activity”.
With these new features, Facebook is not only concerned with how much time is spent on the platforms, but also how that time is spent. These new functions are intended to be the first step towards using the platforms more sensibly and in a time-saving manner.
