Reality Check: This App Measures How Much Time You Spend On Social Media
This App truly excites me," said Wollongong University's Professor Katina Michael. Michael specialises in online addiction.
"I have been working within the social implications of technology space for 20 years and this is the first of its kind. It exists to help people be mindful of their phone usage and hopefully it will encourage people to reflect on their personal goals and patterns of interaction with others in their physical surrounds. If Fitbits are the answer to improving our physical health, AntiSocial is the App for our mental health."
The app doesn't track time of inactive apps so if you come out of Facebook Messenger for instance, that time will stop being tracked. None of the data captured will be used unethically and the Privacy Policy ensures that AntiSocial can't read into sensitive information.
