How to Manage your app usage >

1 Set aside quality time

In Settings > Screen Time, turn on Downtime. Between the hours you set here, only apps you add in Screen Time > Always Allowed can be used – this applies to all devices signed in to your iCloud account and with Downtime turned on.

2 Limit app category

In Settings > Screen Time > App Limits, tap Add Limit. Tap as many categories as you want, then tap Add and set a daily limit for them. If Block At End Of Limit is off, the limit is soft; it can be overridden without a passcode.

3 Override specific apps

You may want some of your apps to override the limit – WhatsApp and Skype, say, so you’re reachable. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Always Allowed. Phone, Messages and FaceTime are here by default. Add any others you want.
