Set a daily app timer on your Redmi with Digital Wellbeing

Check the feature before setting a limit

These are Google's Android instructions for phones with Digital Wellbeing. Availability and screens vary by device, so this is not a promise of identical menus on every Redmi or software version. Some work and school accounts may not support app timers.

I'd choose one non-essential app first. A limit should fit what you want to change, rather than punish every useful thing you do on your phone. Pick an allowance you can explain to yourself, then review it after a few ordinary days.

Set the daily allowance

1. Open Settings, then Digital Wellbeing. Complete its initial setup if prompted.

2. Open App timers and choose Set timer beside the app you want to limit.

3. Choose the daily allowance and confirm with OK.

Check the selected app and allowance before leaving the screen. When the allowance is exhausted, look for the closed app and dimmed icon. App timers reset at midnight.

Remove a limit when you need the app again

To reopen the app before midnight, return to the same timer settings and delete its timer. I'd use that choice consciously, then reconsider whether the allowance was sensible for the day I actually had.

If your real problem is missing alerts rather than spending too long in an app, my Redmi notification checklist is a better starting point. Decide which problem you want to solve before changing several settings at once.
