Facebook is reportedly working on a feature dubbed “Your Time on Facebook” which could help users to manage their time spent on the Facebook app.
This new feature spotted first by Jane Manchun Wong (An engineer), aims at providing information to users about how much time they spent on the Facebook on a daily basis along with the average time spent on the site per day and also offer you an option to set a daily time limit, along with notification management tools.
We’re always working on new ways to help make sure people’s time on Facebook is time well spent.A Facebook spokesperson quoted saying to TechCrunch
Already there have been a few apps launched on the iOS and Android platform that cater to the same; apps like Pyxsee. This app parents, manages and sets timers to limit your daily social media usage on smartphones.
This self-policing could be important since both iOS and Android are launching their own screen-time monitoring dashboards that reveal which apps are dominating your attention and can alert you or lock you out of apps when you hit your time limitTechCrunch
This feature is still in its developmental stage and Facebook hasn’t confirmed the roll-out for this.
