It\u2019s in contrast to standby time, which is the amount of time that a device can stay in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/128507\/htg-explains-should-you-shut-down-sleep-or-hibernate-your-laptop\/\">sleep mode.<\/p>\n<p>Screen-on time is a valuable figure when talking about battery life. For example, you might say, \u201cthis device lasts for 8 hours of screen-on time,\u201d which means you can leave a phone\u2019s display running for 8 hours on a single full charge. This is significantly more useful than raw battery capacity since phones have different displays, processors, and optimizations. A phone with a smaller battery may have considerably higher screen-on time than a phone with a bigger battery.<\/p>\n<p>Some people also use screen-on time to measure their productivity and phone habits. For example, you might say, \u201cI average five hours of screen-on time per day.\u201d If you feel like that\u2019s too much, you can then actively reduce your phone usage. You can also measure this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>-by-app using iOS and Android\u2019s built-in tools, as we\u2019ll explain <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#moka_anchor_CheckTime\">below<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measuring_Battery_Life\"><\/span>Measuring Battery Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely valuable ways to use screen-on time information is to measure\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/169669\/debunking-battery-life-myths-for-mobile-phones-tablets-and-laptops\/\">battery life. Most modern devices, especially iOS devices, have excellent standby time, which means they can last for long periods with the screen turned off. The real test of battery life is how long a phone can stay on when the screen is on, especially since the display is one of the most significant sources of battery drain.<\/p>\n<p>Across Youtube, you\u2019ll find \u201cbattery life tests\u201d that compare device battery lives, almost always with the screen turned on and doing a moderately intensive task such as watching a video. These are a better way to compare battery life between devices, as manufacturer estimates can often be misleading.<\/p>\n<p>One easy way to help you achieve more battery life is to limit the screen\u2019s power consumption. As much as possible, keep your phone in standby mode. If you do need to turn on the screen, set it to a low brightness mode. If your phone gives you the option to reduce your screen\u2019s refresh rate or resolution, these can also help improve battery life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Debunking Battery Life Myths for Mobile Phones, Tablets, and Laptops<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Check_Your_Screen-on_Time\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_CheckTime\">How to Check Your Screen-on Time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-749120 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/android-screen-time-650x366.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Android screen time chart.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to check your own screen-on time on an iOS or Android mobile device, then the process is quite simple.<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>iPhones or iPads<\/strong>, there\u2019s a menu option in your settings called \u201cScreen Time.\u201d It shows you your average daily usage, how much you use each app, and the number of times you\u2019ve opened each of your devices in a day. This data also syncs across devices, so you\u2019ll get the screen time of the iPads and iPhones tied to your Apple account. If you want the exact steps, you can look at our <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/358204\/how-to-use-and-configure-screen-time-on-your-iphone-or-ipad\/\">Apple Screen Time guide.<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>Android<\/strong>, most device manufacturers have a setting built into their custom operating system. On most Android devices, you can find your screen time through a \u201cDigital Wellbeing\u201d menu in your settings. This setting\u2019s name may vary between Android devices, so consult your device manufacturer\u2019s website. You can learn more about screen time measurements in Android through our handy guide.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to check screen-on time for a computer, such as a PC or Mac, then the process is a little less linear. If you\u2019d like to track your computer-usage time manually, you can use a timed task tracker like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/\">Toggl<\/a>.

Many also find it surprising how long they are actively using their phone throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>While having plenty of hours in front of a screen isn\u2019t necessarily negatively correlated with productivity, constantly opening your phone can be distracting.
