Instagram is an application that enjoys enormous popularity in Spain, as it is kept updated with all kinds of new features, such as the introduction of Reels on the platform. Being such a popular application, it is common for users to spend a lot of time per day with it on their Android phones, maybe even too much.

Luckily we can control at all times the time we spend a day using Instagram. The application itself has an option to see the time of use per day, integrated in the configuration of the app itself. This way we will be able to check if we are spending too much time on it.

Control how much time you spend on Instagram

In Android we have tools to control the time we spend in each application on the phone, we can even limit the time we use a specific application. Instagram has an integrated tool which shows how long we use the application on Android on a daily basis, so it is a good way to control your use of the app. To view this data, the steps to follow are:

Open Instagram on your phone.
Tap on your profile picture.
Click on the top three horizontal stripes.
Go into Settings.
Go to Account.
Click on Your Activity.
Check how long you use the app daily.

The application shows us a graph, with the time we have spent in it each day, in addition to the minutes of use. This is a good way to see the use we have made of it on Android. Also, Instagram allows us to set a usage limit, in the form of a reminder, that will tell us once the time limit that we have set ourselves has passed, that we have reached it and it is time to stop using the app.

This is a good way to be aware of the time we spend per day in an application like Instagram. So this section will help you to control this and if you want to set a reminder, to try to reduce the time you spend on it. If you want, tools like Digital Wellbeing on your mobile help you set a usage limit to avoid spending too much time on it.
