Google will tell you just how long you've been scrolling with new 'screen time reminders'

It's the latest addition to Android's Digital Wellbeing suite.

Users can customize which apps participate in Screen time reminders, but they can't change the intervals at which notifications are sent. The feature is separate from the rest of Digital Wellbeing, so you can get Screen time reminders without needing to turn on things like app limits. Early indications are that these "gentle reminders" could be a great way to acknowledge when you've spent too long in a single app to avoid doomscrolling and time-wasting.
