Facebook and Instagram are trying to help you become aware of how much time you're wasting on their apps. The features are rolling out globally over the coming weeks, and include a dashboard of "your activity" that shows the average time and daily time you spent on the app in the last week, a "daily reminder" that you can setup to alert you when you've exceeded the max amount of time you wish to spend on the app, and a "mute push notifications" feature that turns off alerts from the Facebook and Instagram apps for a set period of time should you "want a break." Creators of the new feature write, "Facebook and Instagram are introducing the changes to help people-- in particular teens-- better understand their online habits."
