Setup App Limits in Screen Time for iPhone

Are you looking for a way to manage your time on your iPhone better? With iOS’s Screen Time feature, App Limits can help you take control of your app usage. In this video, I walk you through how to set up and customize App Limits on your iPhone to make more mindful choices about the time you spend on apps and websites. Whether you’re trying to cut back on social media or want to manage your screen time across all your devices, I’ve got you covered.
Revenge bedtime procrastination beware!!!
First, I’ll show you how to navigate to the App Limits settings in Screen Time, where you can set daily limits for specific apps or entire app categories like Social Networking. You’ll learn how to customize these limits by day of the week, so you can give yourself more time on weekends if you want.
What happens when you hit your limit? I’ll show you how the iPhone dims the app icon and what options you have when you’re out of time-whether you choose to take a break or add just a few more minutes. I’ll also cover how to lock your Screen Time settings with a passcode to prevent easy overrides, and we’ll discuss more advanced strategies like having someone else set the passcode to make it harder to ignore your limits.
But what if App Limits start feeling more like a nuisance than a help? I’ll give you tips on what to do if you’ve built the habit of bypassing your limits and how to reset your approach to make these tools work for you again.
Stick around to learn how to make App Limits a tool that actually helps you achieve your goals.
