Apple and Google now let users see exactly how much time they spend in apps. That sounds like a threat to engagement — but some app teams are turning screen time transparency into a competitive advantage. Lucas and Luna dig into how fitness app Strava, meditation app Calm, and the social platform BeReal responded when users gained the power to see their own usage down to the minute. They discuss the surprising data on opt-in rates for screen time sharing, why habit-forming apps actually benefit from showing real numbers, and how a small indie journaling app used iOS 17's screen distance feature to drive daily check-ins. If your app depends on daily active users, this episode will change how you think about user trust. #ScreenTime #DigitalWellness #MobileApps #UserEngagement #AppStoreOptimization #iOS #Android #Strava #Calm #BeReal #UserTrust #RetentionStrategy #ProductDesign #HabitFormation #IndieApps #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #BusinessAndTechnology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
