    When activated, if your phone is in downtime this means that only apps that you have chosen to allow and phone calls will be available. You can turn on downtime at any time or you can schedule it to automatically occur on certain days at certain times.  <\/p>\n\n\n

    1. App Limits<\/strong> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      You can limit usage of not only specific apps but app categories. For example, you can enable that all social apps \u2013 including Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat etc \u2013 have a specific limit of usage on specific days. This is a customisable feature, and you can remove some apps from the category if you don\u2019t want a limit on that specific app, such as if you want to limit social media apps but not WhatsApp.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
