Most configurations for content and privacy restrictions are divided into screen time. Introduced in iOS 12, the screen time records how long a user passes on their device.

It can be configured to monitor and limit the time dedicated to any application, which is excellent to verify how long a child passes to the games or hang out in social networks applications. In addition, it tracks the notifications received.
