NEW YORK: Apple and Google want to help you spend less time on their phones – really. Like that time you checked Facebook at 3am. Stats don’t lie. 

Their new tools for managing screen time will let you see how often you picked up the phone after bedtime or how long you’re on Instagram at work (shame on you). Apple’s tools also let you control how long your kids spend on their devices, if you’re concerned that screens are taking time away from sleep, homework or exercise.
