Screen time reminders

[HappyDane]

I was wondering if One UI is going to include Screen time reminders as described in a howtogeek.com article (here https://www.howtogeek.com/android-digital-wellbeing-screen-warnings/). It states "Samsung has its own suite of Digital Wellbeing tools", while another community post here states "digital wellbeing is a core android feature rather than a OneUI addition and thus is maintained by Google" (at https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Samsung-Apps-and-Services/Digital-Wellbeing-doesn-t-remind-you-a...). Seeing as other Android phones has the feature, but not Samsung, I have come here to ask.

I was searching for just this specific feature because I find myself using too much time doomscrolling and was excited to see that it already exists. Sadly just not on the phone I am using. Is this something in the works?

(I am using a Galaxy S24 with OneUI 6.1)

Samsung's One UI 6.1 has integrated many features of Android's Digital Wellbeing suite into its system, but screen time reminders are not yet fully implemented on Samsung devices. This discrepancy may be due to Samsung's customization of Digital Wellbeing and its integration with One UI. While there is no official confirmation of screen time reminders in One UI 6.1 or the next update, it is possible that future updates will include this feature. Workarounds for screen time and doomscrolling include setting app timers manually, using Focus Mode, and using third-party apps like Stay Focused and Forest.

Hi Asha,

Thanks for the recommendations on workarounds, I will try them out for the time being. At a first glance they still do not seem to quite fit the gap, but they are better than nothing!

(I will keep the post active, in hopes someone with knowledge on Screen time reminders and Samsung's Digital Wellbeing customisation process will report with a timeline.)
