This new feature will show you how much time you're spending in individual apps and on your device overall.

I'm probably the only one that isn't thrilled with this. I don't want anyone to know how long I am on my phone which is probably to much. Wonder if we can hide it? People get on my phone all the time and I am like eek! I am laughing about this because it isn't a big deal but really don't want to know LOL
 
Why would someone who is using your phone go into settings then battery to see your usage? I can’t remember the last time anyone asked to use my phone.

It is my family. My husband doesn't go into the battery but often picks up my phone if we are out and tells me to look at it to unlock it. I do because I know he is going to either google something or check ebay. He doesn't have his own smartphone because he doesn't use his phone much. My son has picked it up because he is curious about the ipx. My sister has too for the same reason. Always asking me to look at it, and I do but now hope they don't look to see how much I am on it.
 
I'm on iOS 9. No worries there. :D

My youngest Mac is a 2006 MBP. The rest are PowerMacs or PowerBooks. Apple's not making any "Screen Time" thing for them, but if I needed that it'd be more useful on my Macs.

My phone is a tool used for calls, texts, email and light web browsing. All I need it for. Between work and home I am in front of a computer for over 16 hours a day.
