Recently, I've begun to notice that I've been spending far too much time on my phone. To combat this, I told my wife to set a pin so I couldn't give myself any more time past my limits placed on my apps. However, I realized that my digital wellbeing was also counting the time that my clock was "on," and so I went to go exclude it. I think this is an excellent feature, but I do believe that a pin should be required to exclude apps as well because what's stopping people from just excluding all their app timers without a pin ? This just seems like a loophole that negatively affects the system that wants to help people's digital wellbeing. Thank you for your time, and I hope you hear back from you guys soon !
My wife doesn't control how much time I have on my phone. I manually inputted all the timers to get me off my phone as much as before. She simply helps me by setting a pin that doesnt allow me to bypass the system. And with all due respect, when another member suggested adding a pin for different focus modes you commented " How is a PIN going to stop that, unless someone is in control of it" I feel like this contradicts your argument a lot. Also is it a bad thing to have someone control/help you achieve your goal ? If it's helping my digital wellbeing then I would consider that a success. kind of feels like you're ragebaiting me here.

I understand that the purpose of the app is for us to be mindful and make our own decisions . However, I feel like it would be much easier if we had the tools necessary to guide us all in our journey wherever we may be. I understand the purpose. I just feel like the implementation of timers and pins is redudent if the user could just disable them by excluding the app.
