Frequently asked questions
- Where do I find my Instagram screen time?
- On iPhone, open Settings → Screen Time → See All Activity and tap Instagram. On Android, try Settings → Digital Wellbeing → Dashboard. Some Samsung and Pixel devices label this slightly differently, but look for Screen Time or Digital Wellbeing.
- How is “working weeks lost” calculated?
- We take your total yearly Instagram hours and divide by 40 — the hours in a standard full-time work week. It shows how much productive time the habit consumes in work-week equivalents.
- Should I use today’s number or an average?
- Use your daily average over the past 7 days if your phone provides it. A single unusual day can skew results; the weekly average is more representative.
