Too many people spend too much time on social media. According to Grok, the average person spends 2 hours and 21 minutes a day across social platforms such as X, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Although this has slightly reduced from the average for 2024, it is still a significant amount of time when calculated for a week for example.
This makes it necessary for the time management feature that Threads has introduced to help users limit how much time they spend scrolling on the app, if they choose to use it.
A Necessary Help to Boost Productivity
With the alarming amount of time spent on social media, this kind of time management feature is important to ensure that productivity is maintained or improved.
With time spent on social platforms limited, more time can be put into more productive activities such as work, fitness, or even recreation.
Such features should be recommended for other platforms as well, such as the one TikTok implemented in 2023.
