Some news has being leak that says Facebook is working on the new Time-Management Tool for its App Users. According to the report Facebook App will soon let you know how much time you spend on the facebook app once the feature is fully developed.

It's Called 'Your Time on Facebook', the feature is initially under testing on Facebook's Android app. The Menlo Park, California-headquartered company has confirmed the new development, though it is unclear if it will debut on iOS as well or not. At WWDC earlier this month, Apple announced iOS 12 with a Screen Time feature that is designed to help users restrict smartphone overage. Google also brought its 'Digital Wellbeing' within Android P Beta last month to prevent users from spending hours on their devices.

TechCrunch also reported, the Your Time on Facebook feature is presently hidden under the Facebook app for Android devices. The feature shows the total of how much time you've spent on Facebook over the last seven days and the average you've spent for the total week.

Also, it allows you to set a daily reminder to alert you when you've reached a certain limit. There is additionally a shortcut to change your notification settings. You can also turn on the 'Do Not Disturb' feature to stay away from all Facebook notifications.

The feature was first spotted by Jane Wong.

Facebook has not still revealed on which platforms the new feature will debut formally. However, facebook has confirmed the new development in a statement to TechCrunch.

"We're always working on new ways to help make sure people's time on Facebook is time well spent."

Facebook owned company Instagram has also released Usage Insights feature in the pipeline to let users see how much time they spend on the platform last month.

The ongoing developments suggest Facebook is taking Apple and Google ways to help users limit their time on social media.

Facebook trying to repair its damaged reputation with gestures that prioritize users might help Facebook shore up its position among other demographics. At least as important, such moves could blunt the concerns of legislators, who made social media addiction a talking point in Zuckerberg’s testimony. It might also help mollify Facebook’s public critic.

Yes, I heard about it, it is a good thing that people will know how much time they invested in Facebook and they will realize that they could do some more work in such a time. Because now it is happening that people who are using Facebook, do not know the time, how long they have given it
