As our mobile devices become an integral part of our life, our usage on these devices can say a lot about our habits and how we use our time.

For example, when I looked through my iPhone's Screen Time section of the Settings app, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I spend more time listening to the news via KPCC than I do browsing Reddit. I was equally surprised to find that I apparently spend as much time sending texts as I do sending emails.

If you want to check your own app usage on your iPhone, the Settings app makes it blissfully easy to do so. You can check out the stats on individual app use time, overall screen time, and even see how much you use different categories of apps, grouped under headings such as "Social Networking" and "Entertainment."

Here's how to check app usage on your iPhone.
