Threads Introduces New Time Management Tools
Meta’s Threads app is adding a helpful new feature designed to promote healthier social media habits. The new Threads time management option lets users see how much time they spend on the app each day.
As shown by app researcher Jonah Manzano, the feature appears in your Account Settings. It provides a detailed daily usage summary, helping users stay aware of their screen time. In addition, Threads now allows you to set daily time limits to manage your activity better.
Sleep Mode for Balanced Use
Another key part of the update is the Sleep Mode option. This tool lets you mute notifications or restrict app activity during certain hours. Even better, you can customize it for different days for example, longer breaks on weekends or earlier shutdowns on workdays.
These features reflect Meta’s broader effort to support digital well-being. Many social media platforms now include similar tools, encouraging users to take mindful breaks.
Therefore, the Threads update not only improves user control but also aligns with growing concerns about mental health and online balance. With social apps becoming central to daily life, this update offers a gentle reminder to disconnect and recharge when needed.
