Washington DC, [USA] Nov 21 (ANI): Facebook is all set to roll out a new dashboard that will show how much time you spend on the social media app.
The social networking service company announced the new feature for its Instagram and Facebook apps back in August.
According to The Verge, the development is a part of the "time well-spent" movement that has been attracting the attention of the tech world. While with the Facebook dashboard, users can keep track of the time they are spending on the app, Apple's Screen Time and Google's Digital Wellbeing allow users to block themselves from using apps.
On Facebook, the feature will be listed under the hamburger menu (three vertical lines in the bottom-right corner of the app) while on Instagram it will be a part of the setting menu.
The dashboard will feature a bar chart that will show you the time you have spent on the app in the past seven days. It will also allow you to set the length of time you want to spend on that particular app and will send you a reminder once you reach that limit. The new feature will also allow you to temporarily mute the push notifications.
The social media platforms have faced a lot of criticism in past years for courting their users' attention throughout the day. The obsession with these apps is becoming a major concern today. (ANI)

Review: GoBoult Mustang Thunder Headphones

Review: GoBoult Mustang Thunder Headphones

The last time I tried the Mustang edition buds by Boult, I felt there was a sense of getting more out of it; I expected more from this partnership. So, when Boult (now GoBoult) launched these over-ear headphones in collaboration with Ford, I knew I had to try them. I can see their goal which is to bring the high-octane spirit of the Boss 302 Mustang to our ears at a competitive price point of INR 2,999. After using them for over a month, here is my breakdown of whether they live up to the legacy.

Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless (80th Ed.) review

I remember reviewing the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless earlier this year and everything changed after that. I called them the best headphones I've ever experienced. An understated design with incredible comfort that makes every audiophile junkie to find solace is how I can describe the headphones. Then there is this rich, articulate Sennheiser signature sound that makes Momentum 4 wireless a masterpiece. It's a solid companion if you are a minimalist and now, Sennheiser, for its 80th anniversary, has come up with a new, limited-edition version of Momentum 4 wireless.
