It is normal for the phone to become a tool for daily use for work, study or entertainment, so each manufacturer offers alternatives to verify the time of general use and that of each application, as well as giving options to set limits.
For this, it will not be necessary to download an additional application, but rather there is a native function that allows you to verify this information on a daily basis, at least on mobiles that have Android 9 on and on iphone from iOS 12.

For cell phones with the operating system Google the tool is called digital wellbeing, which will be found in Settings. There will be several functions such as Parental Control, Rest Mode, Distraction-Free Mode, among others.
In this case, the one that interests us is the time of use, which will be the first thing that appears with a circular graph that shows in the center the number of minutes that the cell phone has been active that day and around it the applications that have been opened. . Below the circle will appear the times the phone has been unlocked and the notifications that have been received.
By clicking on the center of the circle, in the number of minutes, another window opens with much more detailed information, showing the exact minutes in which a platform has been used and above a bar graph with the comparison of activity of the last week.
There are other options on this tab, such as viewing the stats for the previous days, setting timers for the app, which stops it permanently when it meets the daily time limit, and changing the graph based on the number of notifications or number of times. that each app was opened.
Clicking on each application will open an additional window with detailed information on that platform, its usage time in the last week, timing options and more recent data. In the case of browsers, the tool lets you see which websites were visited and the viewing time of each one.
Some brands deliver a summary to the user every week, comparing it with their activity in the previous week so that they make healthy use of their device.
