Instagram is one of those apps almost everyone has on their phone, but most of us spend more time using it than we probably should. If you fall under this category, here’s how you can stop mindlessly scrolling through your feed.

Daily Reminder

One of the good things about Instagram is that you can check the daily average of time spent using the app in the past week. If you’re not happy with that number, you can set a daily limit and get a notification after reaching it.

Receiving Messages

Don’t use Instagram as the main means of communication. Texting your friends through other apps also takes time, but at least you won’t be tempted to scroll through your timeline after replying to their messages.

Fun Activities

People often tend to scroll through Instagram out of boredom, but what if you had something else to do? You can use your phone to read a book or watch a TV show – or simply leave it behind and do something fun offline.
