Yes, the two apps are that popular.

Fortunately, Facebook and Instagram have provided us with a way to monitor our activity on the apps.  It’s called Your Time on Facebook. All it takes it a few taps to see how much time you’ve been spending on social media.

Scroll down to Your Time on Facebook and tap it.

You’ll be able to see how many minutes on Facebook you’re averaging each day.

You’ll also be able to edit your news feed preferences, choose how you interact with your Facebook friends, set a daily reminder that will help you limit your use, and change your notification settings.

Note that this is for informational purposes only. It does not limit your activity on Facebook or Instagram. It’s simply a way to let you know how much time you’re spending on the apps.

Well, that’s it for today. Don’t forget to leave me a comment below!
