This Cool iPhone Feature Lets You Limit Your Screen Time (No Willpower Required)

The Screen Time menu option can be found halfway down the Settings menu page next to a purple hourglass icon.

Selecting this will then turn on the Screen Time feature to track your phone usage.

This screen just offers more insight into what the Screen Time feature tracks and what information it can provide.

If you're looking to manage your own screen time, select the first option. If you want to track or limit your child's screen time, select the second.

If you're manageing your own screen time, you can schedule time to spend away from your screen, time limits on certain apps, and even manage your privacy settings.

If you select This is My Child's iPhone, you'll first be given the option to set scheduled time for Downtime.

After choosing to set or skip Downtime, you'll be given the option to set daily time limits for certain apps.

After choosing to set or skip App Limits, you'll be given the option to customize your child's content and privacy settings.

The last step to setting controls for your child's Screen Time is to create a passcode, so only you can extend time or make changes. After you set up your child's Screen Time, Family Sharing can also allow you to view reports and adjust settings any time from your own device.

If you're already in a family group, go to Settings, click Screen Time, and tap your child's name. If you need to create an Apple ID for your child, go to Settings, find [your name], click Family Sharing, and then select Screen Time. If you're new to Family Sharing, tap Set up Screen Time for Family and follow the instructions to set up your family.
