OBSESSIVE INTERACTIONS — BLIND SCROLLING

How many times do you end up blindly scrolling through Facebook and Instagram before bed? The debate about social media and its effects and addiction is still ongoing. It made Apple realize the screentime feature and introduce time limits for apps. However, the time limit feature is not very effective as it directly allows you to ignore it.

You can easily ignore the limit for the whole day or 15 minutes.

It would be better if Apple introduces a reminder message that we can input when we set the limits. The message can be our reminder on why we put the limit and help us make a better decision while blindly scrolling over the apps.
