How to put a Lock Screen Timer on your Apps on iPhone to Limit the use (Easy Method)
To put a lock screen timer on your apps to limit their usage on your iPhone, you can use the Screen Time feature to set time limits for specific apps. Once the limit is reached, the app will be locked, and you'll need a passcode to bypass the restriction.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Open Settings: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
Tap Screen Time: Scroll down and select Screen Time.
Turn On Screen Time: If you haven't already enabled it, tap Turn On Screen Time, then tap Continue and choose whether the iPhone is yours or your child’s.
Tap App Limits: Under Screen Time, tap App Limits.
Add a Limit:
Tap Add Limit to create a new limit for the apps you want to restrict.
Select the category (e.g., Social or Entertainment) or choose specific apps individually by expanding categories.
Set the Time Limit: Choose the amount of time you want to allow for these apps each day (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour). You can also tap Customize Days to set different limits for specific days.
Tap Add: Once you've set the time, tap Add in the upper-right corner.
Using the Lock Screen Timer:
Once the time limit is reached, the app icon will appear grayed out with an hourglass symbol. When you try to open the app, you'll see a screen with a Time Limit Reached message.
You can tap Ask For More Time to request extra time, but you'll need to enter your Screen Time passcode (or a parent/guardian can do this if it's a child’s device).
Setting a Passcode:
Set a Screen Time Passcode: To ensure the limits can't be bypassed easily, go to Settings - Screen Time - Use Screen Time Passcode, and set a passcode.
Confirm Passcode: Re-enter the passcode, and this will secure your app limits.
