The Screen Time feature is handy for tracking how much time you have spent on your iPhone or iPad. Using this feature, you can review how many times you picked up your iPhone or iPad per hour and your first pickup, and the total number of pickups per day. Then, you will be able to see the apps that you used, which helps you to be aware of the app usage on your iPhone or iPad. Furthermore, it allows you to track usage habits for yourself or your child.
Screen time is a great feature, but it may or may not be suitable for everyone. If you do not want to see how much time you spend on your device and how much time you spend on each app on your iPhone or iPad, Apple has provided an option to disable it. If you share and use devices with others, you may want to disable screen time as application usage may cause statistical data privacy concerns.
