Screen Time helps you keep track of how you use your iPhone. It can also help you put limits on your app usage if you\u2019d like, although that\u2019s optional.<\/p>\n<p>To enable Screen Time, open the Settings app, and then tap \u201cScreen Time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-717398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/iphone_tap_screen_time.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"In iPhone settings, tap &quot;Screen Time.&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"340\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Next, tap \u201cTurn on Screen Time\u201d and select \u201cThis is My iPhone\u201d or \u201cThis is My Child\u2019s iPhone,\u201d depending on which option best suits your situation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-717396\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/tap_turn_on_screen_time.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap &quot;Turn on Screen Time.&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After that, you\u2019ll see a Screen Time summary page with no data\u2014but we\u2019ll fix that problem quickly enough!<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_Use_Your_iPhone%E2%80%94and_Then_Check_Screen_Time_Again\"><\/span>Next, Use Your iPhone\u2014and Then Check Screen Time Again<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The catch with using Screen Time is that it needs to be enabled to start gathering data about which apps you use the most. If you just turned it on, you won\u2019t have a most-used app list to look at.<\/p>\n<p>So, now that Screen Time has been enabled, use your iPhone as you normally would. After a while, you can check back in with Screen Time and see some statistics. (Just call me and let me know when you\u2019re ready, and we\u2019ll continue.)<\/p>\n<p>OK, it\u2019s been a year now, and I have a very long beard. Also, you\u2019ve had Screen Time turned on the entire time!
