With the freedom that Android provides & its app availability, it’s pretty easy for users to get carried away while using their phones. Many Android users actually struggle to maintain a healthy balance with technology and end up wasting their time and adopting unhealthy habits.
To deal with such issues, Google introduced a set of tools called Digital wellbeing. Digital wellbeing is a simple tool that helps you find the right balance with technology. With Digitial wellbeing, you can discover apps you often use, set app limits, improve your focus, reduce distractions, etc.
Although Digital Wellbeing is a useful feature, many want to disable it. Many users haven’t ever used Digital wellbeing, and they want to prevent the app from running in the background. You can also disable your Digital wellbeing if you value privacy more than anything else.
