Apple has recently introduced features to help iPhone users put down their phones at least temporarily after criticism over claims people were addicted to the company’s flagship device and following similar moves to combat smartphone addiction by competitors. The slew of tools includes updates to ‘Do Not Disturb’ and new methods to manage notifications. Instead of a string of notifications missed overnight, users will get a new -good morning screen summarizing the alerts. There are also options to mute notifications and grouping alerts to reduce the number sent to a user. The most notable enhancement is called ‘Screen Time’ which shows the duration you spend on individual apps, how often you pick up your phone and which apps are sending you the most notifications. People can set time limits on particular apps and get alerts reminding them to stop using that software as the limit approaches. It then shuts the app off, until users change the setting. The time-limits feature will synchronize between multiple devices via Apple’s iCloud service. There are also new parental controls that limit kids from using their devices. As part of the anti-addiction initiative, users will be able to choose times when certain apps or app categories can’t be used. Rising concern about smartphone addiction is less of a threat to Apple than other big tech companies. Apple makes most of its money selling hardware, and Monday’s software upgrades will likely give the users another reason to keep buying the new Apple devices. Google introduced similar tools at its developer conference. The Alphabet Inc. The company has a new Dashboard for Android phones that let people analyse how long they’re using apps and reminds them to take a break. Apple experts is a popular Apple Service Center in Qatar where you can depend for all sort of service and repair of Apple devices.
