Have you ever wondered how much time you spend on social networks on your mobile phone. And to be more exact, how much time do you spend on Instagram? Maybe not, but you should. Because sometimes the networks are used for too long and we are not aware of it. Therefore, to know the exact data we are going to show you how to do it thanks to Your Instagram activity.
Your activity on Instagram
The latest versions of iOS and Android included among their many new functions one that allowed to know the time of use of the device. An interesting feature to know what you invest in every minute while you are using it. Information that can help you achieve that digital well-being which has been talked about for a long time.
Well, these new options in the operating systems did not come alone and the applications themselves integrated their native tools. Instagram was one of them and it aims to improve your use of the platform. And not because they don't want you to spend as much time as possible inside, but because they want you to do so responsibly.
Thanks to Your activity you will have a detailed and specific detail only for Instagram. No data from other applications or uses that you are not as interested in or you simply have better control over, because the time it counts begins when you start the application and ends when you leave the phone or jump to another. Let's see how to access and everything it shows you. So watch out.
How to access Your Instagram activity
To access Your activity on Instagram, the first thing to do is open the application and go to the icon of your profile, then click on the icon with three stripes in the upper right corner. When you press, a menu will be displayed that gives access, among other options, to the one that interests us. Click on Your activity and you will be inside this new panel with detailed information on the use of the application.
At the top the first thing you see is the average hours and minutes you spend on Instagram each day. What you see below is the summary of the last seven days. And if you hold down each of the bars, it indicates the exact time in minutes of each day.
Up to here everything is more or less the same as what the new versions of mobile operating systems could offer you, but if you continue advancing you will see that there are two options to manage your time and experience. Which is very interesting.
- Schedule daily reminder: With this first function, the application will send you a reminder when the maximum usage time that you have configured has passed. That is, it warns you that you have already spent the time you had planned to use Instagram every day. And the truth is that it is a good help to gradually reduce the use by being aware at the moment if you are going too far or not
- Notification settings: With this option you manage the notifications you want to receive. This for many is essential. It is true that you have to invest a while in leaving everything as you want, but then it can be very positive in the face of possible interruptions that can pose a problem for your productivity. In addition, notifications are one of the clear reasons why those of us who end up "hooked" to the platform. In this menu you can pause all notifications or only those of publications, stories and comments, those of accounts that you follow and followers, IGTV, etc. Up to you.
As you can see, managing Instagram usage time is very simple. It is true that you are the first to be aware and have the willpower to quit despite seeing funny stories or posts from those accounts you follow for whatever reason. But with these tools it is a little easier to achieve it.
