Try the "Moment" app it has really helped me to use cell phone less.I have found the Screen Time app that is now part of iOS to be extremely helpful. I have us set up as a family and can limit my kids to minutes a day. I have found a few unintended consequences. 1. Since the devices are completely unable to be used from 10pm-7am, the kids rush around to get stuff done while they're in their window (since all chores and homework have to be done before I relinquish control). 2. I have my social media time set to 15 minutes a day and it usually gets eaten up by iMessage (even though I allow iMessage through the block). 3. My overall desire to get onto my phone and my kids' desire to get onto their phone has lessened immensely. 4. You can still get to what you need to, but it will remind you again after 15 minutes and force you to make another choice.
This feels like a good first attempt by a manufacturer towards responsible consumption.
