For a while now, technology manufacturers are providing solutions to reduce the use of mobile phones. Speaking of Android, Google suggests that Digital Wellness, its integration into the phone time management tools.
Huawei does the same with the & # 39; Digital Balance & # 39 ;, a similarly sized tool, but different in terms of display level and some difference in performance level. Come on, let me tell you how to use these tools, see what they look compared to a Google suggestion.
What is Digital Balance and for what
Digital Balance is in your Huawei mobile settings, under local access and over availability features. To compress, we find out exactly what time the phone is used, in minutes or hours, and to split the time spent on each app. When we click this first section, we enter that section time to use.
At first glance, Digital Balance shows us the time to use and the apps we used. However, this is only part of what you can do.
As the name implies, here we see How many minutes have we used each request, both in the present day and the last seven days. In the same way, we are able to recognize opening number and the time we have made. In short, It's an extension of battery usage data, they are more inclined to indicate how much time we spend on apps than their use of power.
If we leave this menu and go back, we will see three other ways Digital Balance allows us: Screen time, Program parameters and time without use. Let's start with the first one.
& # 39; Time in front of the screen & # 39; Huawei options set time limit to use mobile. The only exceptions allowed here are the phones and apps we prepare as exempt from calculations.
For example, we can install a system that, from Monday to Friday, will not use the phone for more than four hours, except for the time spent in the email (anything, for example, that relates to your work and not leisure). Similarly, we can set rest days, where the phone will not consider these restrictions.
& # 39; Restrictions on Use & # 39; is another function of Digital Balance, and as the name implies, lets you convert, program by application, the maximum use we can offer you. And we can stop, right, that we will never use certain programs, a useful tool if we want to take a break with it.
In the end, we have the choice & # 39; Time without using & # 39; This is an option allows establishing specific periods of time during which the call can be used, except for phones. For example, you can arrange that, before going to bed, the phone will not be used.
How Digital Balance vs. Digital Wellbeing
Comparisons are difficult, but when you consider that Digital Balance by Hugei & # 39; s Digital Wellbeing, it makes sense to see the huge differences and similarities between the two proposals.
Google Digital Wellness is perfect for cross-sectional and functional. However, the amount of use we will have for both tools is the same
At the usage level, Digital Wellness is more careful than Digital Balance. Huawei's proposal is very simple, and although it illustrates the use of apps, Google does it with extra care.. In terms of performance, we get the same.
Google's sleep mode is similar to Huawei's unused time, we can both manage the duration of each application, and see time spent in front of the screen. In the case of Huawei, we can add a PIN to Digital Balance to make something a bit more private, like something else.
For now, Google allows it manage app alerts from Digital Wellness, to show us which apps have notified us recently, how many notifications have been sent, prevent them from continuing to do so, etc.
Similarly, it is added as an icon in the list of applications for quick access, or the option to add parental controls to this mode.
In short, At the Digital Balance level it performs its mission, even though Google Wellness is perfect.
