Pavel Jelic Social media rules the world, there's no doubt about it. But the truth is that social networks, that is, most of them, were never primarily aimed at allowing you to simply connect with other people. Primarily, this is one of the best advertising spaces that you can rent. If you do not use social networks as a tool for advertising, but as an ordinary tool for communication and viewing posts, then you can notice that you certainly spend a lot of time on them - easily in the form of several hours a day. Of course, this is not ideal from several points of view, but fortunately, you can easily fight against some form of social media addiction.

How to set a time limit for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and more on iPhone
Screen Time has been part of the iOS operating system for a long time. In addition to the fact that with the help of this tool you can monitor how much time you spend on the screen or on specific applications per day, you can also set certain time limits for applications, among other things. For example, if you only want to spend a few dozen minutes a day on social networks, you can set such a limit - just follow this procedure:
- First, you need to go to the native app on your iPhone Settings.
- Once you've done that, go down a bit and open the section Screen time.
- If you don't have Screen Time active yet, do so turn on.
- After switching on, drive down a bit below, where locate and tap on Application Limits.
- Now using the switch function Turn on App Limits.
- Then another box will appear add limit, which you press.
- On the next screen it is then necessary select apps, with which you want to set the time limit.
- Either you can check the option Social networks, or this section unclick and the application directly manually select.
- After selecting applications, tap on the top right Next.
- Now you just need to determine daily time limit for selected applications.
- Once you are sure of the time limit, just tap on at the top right Add.

In this way, it is possible to activate a time limit within iOS for the daily use of selected applications or a group of applications. Of course, in addition to social networks, you can set limits for any other applications, including games and others. If you manage to control the time limits to the maximum, then believe that it will work much better on a daily basis and you will also have more time for other activities or for your loved ones. If you want to get rid of social networks completely, I still recommend deactivating notifications, in Settings -> Notifications.
