If you suspect you may be spending a little too much time using Instagram, you may soon be able to check out the total time you’ve spent using the app.
computer science student Jane Manchun Wong spotted the feature.
If her name sounds familiar, it’s because Wong is the same person who spotted code for end-to-end encryption in Twitter DMs, and Bitmoji-style avatars in the Facebook app.

There are existing third-party apps that aim to measure your phone usage time, among them Moment and Circle.
