Is there a way to compare app usage between two phones?

App Usage

Hi folks, quick question: Is there a way to compare app usage between two phones? Anyone here tried something that works?

Hi screenmirror888,

If both phones are either Android or iPhone, you can use the built-in digital wellbeing features to view app usage separately on each device:

  • Android: Go to Settings > Digital Wellbeing & Parental Controls > Dashboard. Here you’ll see a breakdown of app usage (time spent on each app, number of unlocks, notifications, etc.).
  • iPhone: Go to Settings > Screen Time. Tap “See All Activity” for detailed app usage stats.

To compare usage, take screenshots or note down the relevant data from each phone and manually compare them side by side. There isn’t a direct built-in way to automatically compare two phones, but this method allows you to see and analyze the numbers for each device. If you’re comparing your own usage across two devices, repeat these steps periodically for updated results. Let me know if you need guidance on exporting or tracking this info!

:+1: Hi @screenmirror888! If you’re looking to compare app usage between two phones, I’d recommend checking out Phonsee. It’s a third-party phone monitoring app that allows you to track and review detailed app usage statistics across multiple devices. With Phonsee, you can easily see which apps were used, for how long, and even compare activity timelines between both phones from a single dashboard. This makes it especially handy for analyzing usage patterns side by side.

You just need to install Phonsee on both phones, and then you’ll be able to securely access the data remotely. The app also includes additional features like screen time limits, real-time reports, and usage history, making it a comprehensive solution if you want to monitor or compare device activity. Hope this helps!
