I’m sure you’re absolutely loving your new Samsung Galaxy S10. It’s completely understandable – you just can’t get enough of your awesome new gadget!

But after a while, you might start to wonder how much time you actually spend staring at that screen every day. Sure, you could download some apps to keep track of your screen time, but luckily for you, Samsung S10 users have an easier solution.

Samsung has made sure that the Samsung S10 comes with a built-in feature called Digital Wellbeing. Let me tell you all about it.

Now, when we talk about screen time and the Samsung S10, we have to mention the Digital Wellbeing feature and what it means for this flagship smartphone. If you’ve ever used an iPhone, you’re probably familiar with Apple’s Screen Time feature.

Digital Wellbeing is similar – it allows you to manage the time you spend on your apps and helps you stay on track with your screen time goals. Before the S10, only Pixel phones had this feature. Before I explain all the cool things you can do with it, let me show you how to check your screen time in the first place. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Swipe down your S10 control panel and tap on the gear icon in the top right corner.

2. Select the “Digital Wellbeing” option.

3. Tap on “Dashboard.”

4. Click on the “Screen time” option and make sure “Screen time” is checked in the drop-down menu.

You’ll see a weekly chart showing how long you’ve been using your phone in hours. Just below the chart, you can scroll through the details of your screen time.

The S10 will also list the apps you’ve used, starting with the one you use the most, and show you exactly how long you’ve been using each app throughout the day.

Now let’s talk about managing your screen time with Digital Wellbeing. From the Digital Wellbeing dashboard, you can set goals for your screen time on your S10. For example, if you use YouTube the most, just tap on the app in the list and select “App time timer.”

A pop-up menu will appear, and you can choose how long you want to use the app – 15 or 30 minutes, an hour, or you can even customize it.

If you choose to do this, you’ll get a notification when your time is up, reminding you to put down your phone.

Digital Wellbeing on the S10 also has a feature called “Wind Down” mode. And it does exactly what it says – it helps you wind down before bed.

If you enable it, at a certain time, it will gradually block notifications and change your screen to grayscale as a signal that it’s time to wind down and get ready for sleep.

Now, what about those who don’t have the S10 or any other phone with Digital Wellbeing built-in? Don’t worry! If you have an older Samsung phone or any Android phone, you can still enjoy the benefits of Digital Wellbeing. Just head to the Play Store and download the Digital Wellbeing app.

It has all the options of the built-in feature and more. It will remind you to focus on the person you’re with and offers additional features like “Focus mode.”

The app will also give you all the information about how many notifications you receive every day and allows you to pause apps with a single tap. It even has Parental Controls, which can be really helpful for parents and users who need to keep an eye on app usage.

So, whether you have the S10 or not, you can still take control of your screen time with Digital Wellbeing. Start using it today and make sure you’re using your phone in a way that works for you.

How Much Screen Time Is Too Much?

When it comes to screen time, research has clearly shown that it’s not beneficial for kids. But for adults, there isn’t a clear consensus.

Nevertheless, it is widely agreed that after spending two or three hours in front of screens, it’s a good idea to take a break and engage with the real world. Maybe go outside and look at trees or have a conversation with someone.

Interestingly, most adults tend to spend even more hours glued to their screens. Thanks to new features on the Samsung S10, users can now keep track of their screen time for each day, week, and even specific apps.
