how to track time spent on facebook and instagram
how many hours you spend on Facebook and Instagram is a potentially shame-inducing data point that for years you’ve had no real way to assess. But today, Facebook has been widely and quietly rolling out a tool that lets you measure how much time you spend using both the Facebook and Instagram apps.
In the Facebook app on iOS and Android, you can find “Your Time on Facebook” buried in the “Settings and Privacy” menu. Click on More , Settings and Privacy, then scroll down to Your Time on Facebook. There, you’ll get a bar graph of the week, with your usage time displayed by hours and minutes per day, and the average amount of time you spent each day. On Instagram, go to Your Account , More, Settings, Your Activity, and you’ll see the equivalent.
