the screen time social club :)

hello everyone and welcome to the screen time social club! we all use our phones - no doubt about that! - so i thought for fun we could post our weekly screen time use and the person who has the least amount of weekly screen time gets bragging rights! they might get rep points in the future too - who knows!

here's how it works!

1) every sunday evening, we will all post our total weekly screen time use (not the average if possible)
2) for iphones, it's settings > screen time > see all activity > weekly and then you'll see the total screen use :smile:!
3) (i don't know how the android phones work :frown:)!
4) upload a screenshot or simply type how many hours you've been using your phone for this week!
5) the person with the least amount of screen time wins!

the aim is to try and use your phone less and instead do something else that will give you some gratification!!

question of the week: what's the app that steals most of your screen time?
my answer: whatsapp :smile:

mine is either youtube or instagram, weaned myself off hours on tiktok for the most part but I have to say yt shorts suck me in more than i'd like, and that's the bit of social media time i'd like to particularly reduce
instagram reels even though my account is usually for lurking
And YouTube
I just watch like uncle Roger on there tho

YouTube - 3hr 47 mins
Granted that I watched a 3 hour Doctor Who commentary video.
