Google Digital Wellbeing gives Android users a daily view of app use, notifications and how often they check or unlock their phone.
What Google Digital Wellbeing is
Google Digital Wellbeing gives Android users a daily view of app use, notifications and how often they check or unlock their phone. Daily app timers let users set limits for individual apps. Focus mode pauses distracting apps and can be scheduled to turn on automatically, while Bedtime mode can schedule Grayscale and Do Not Disturb. On supported phones, users can also review Chrome website usage and set daily limits for specific sites. Google notes that usage information is available on some phones and that setup steps can vary by device. A default parent account on a device can manage a child’s account through Digital Wellbeing settings, although some work and school accounts might not work with app timers. The app is free and available on Android. Google Play’s data safety information says the app shares no data with third parties, but may collect personal information, app activity and three other data types. It says data is encrypted in transit and collected data cannot be deleted; the listing also reports an independent security review.
