After Google announced earlier this month that Android P is being developed with a focus on "digital wellbeing" by helping people figure out how much time they're using on their phones and in each specific apps, Apple followed.
Apparently, Android P will "even show how many times someone has unlocked their smartphone throughout the day," reports the Verge. It may have sounded like a challenging dare to Apple, but Apple had been already working on something in that vein.
Bloomberg reports that "as part of Apple’s iOS 12 reveal on Monday, the company will introduce a 'Digital Health' area of the settings menu. Much like Google's coming effort, it will include "a series of tools" that will outline how we’re spending our time on iPhones and iPads.
The biggest question, however, is why both Google and Apple brag about this "revolutionary" discovery? There are apps, such as Moment, which have been available to consumers for years now. They do precisely what "Digital Health" program is offering - monitor the number of hours spent on your device.
As per every year, iOS 12 is supposed to be released in September.
