I tracked my iPhone usage for a week and this is what I learned

From picking up the phone every seven minutes to realising that Safari is my main time sink, Apple's Screen Time tools revealed more than I expected

How many times do you pick up and interact with your phone in a week? More than 500 times? How about the sheer number of notifications you get? It might number in the thousands.

With all the talk of smartphone addiction, I was curious to find out just how often I actually use my phone and why, so I took Apple's new Screen Time phone-tracking tools for a spin, installing the latest iOS 12 beta. What I discovered is that I pick up my phone every seven minutes during the day - far more than I imagined, and not just at the prompt of a notification.
