Android 10 brought in a low of new features like enhanced security, privacy controls, new design elements, and major UI changes. However, one of the features that aims at improving the digital life of smartphone consumers is Digital Wellbeing.

For naive, Digital Wellbeing allows the user to track their daily technology usage throughout the day. The dashboard shows the number of unlocks, a number of notifications received, time spent on various applications, etc.

Moreover, with the help of this Digital Wellbeing application, users can minimize distractions and concentrate on their work, unplug yourself from the digital life and spend more time with your family and friends by pausing apps and customizing when and how you get notifications.
