A woman has shared a method to calculate yearly screen time on iPhones, and the results have left many users startled. Lejla, 27, from New Jersey, posted a TikTok video reacting to another user's screen time, which totalled 130 days for the year. The clip has been viewed over 5.4 million times.
In the comments, users expressed mixed reactions. One joked, 'I won't be doing this for personal reasons,' while another said, '81 days I’m good (let’s just ignore my screen time on my iPad).' A third commented, 'I choose my good night sleep over this info thanks.'
To check screen time, iPhone users can go to Settings > Screen Time to see daily averages. For a yearly view, manual data export or third-party apps like OffScreen or RealizD are required, as Apple only stores data for about a week.
Lejla, who is now using tracking apps to reduce her usage, said her screen time averages about six hours a day. 'One of my personal goals for the new year is to cut it in half and be more present offline,' she told Newsweek.
