Check your recent bedtime activity

Important: To use this feature, you must use the Digital Wellbeing app.

You can view which apps you use during your scheduled bedtime and an estimate of time spent in bed. Time spent in bed is based on when your phone remained motionless in a dark room. For best results, your device should be turned on and in your bedroom during your scheduled bedtime.

  • To show you this activity: The Clock and Digital Wellbeing apps access your daily app usage, motion, and light detection during your scheduled bedtime, and your time zone history.
  • To see more details about a specific day: Tap the time duration shown above the graph, like 18 minutes. You can also find app icons next to the time spent. If you didn’t use your device during your scheduled bedtime, it’ll say “Didn’t use phone.”  
  • No data in the chart: Make sure you’ve turned on “Use bedtime schedule” and that you’ve given permission to the Clock app to use your data. To manage permissions, on the “Recent bedtime activity” card, tap Menu  and then Manage data.
