You can hardly list the number of social networks that we have today. Although there are a few that are the most popular, such as Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest or Snapchat, and many others that are making their way. All this means that we have an addiction to them without realizing it and that it has already entered our lives as something normal.
But if it were the case that we wanted to know how much time we spend on social networks, for this very purpose an application called Social Addict arrives and will be in charge of accounting for the time you spend in each one you have on your Android terminal. If curiosity does not leave you alone let us get to know this new app up close.
Losing hours and hours of life in front of Facebook
It is not that they lose, they also win, Facebook itself is the online nerve center of relationships between friends, family and contacts. But if you spend too much time yourself, it is best to know how much it is.
In order to remedy this, Social Addict comes to Android to be able to count the time you spend on the following social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Ask.fm, BBM, Tumblr, Google+ and WhatsApp. At the moment it is only these that are offered support, assuming that they will add some more in future updates.
Starting Social Addict
From the moment we start the app after installing it, we will have to activate the service with Toggle Service so that from the settings it can activate the social networks that you want this app to control the time spent on them. You can leave one deactivated if it is the case that you cannot get rid of it and you do not want to know the actual coupling.
Social Addict will remain in the background counting those hours that a user spends on different social networks. It will consume battery to be present all the time, but it is not much, since the app works in such a way that when one of the social networks is opened, a counter will start until the session ends with it.
The app stays right here in these terms without boasting of any kind. Count the time used in social networks to later show the hours spent on them.
After several days, we can see the time used in each of the social networks that we have active on the phone. Now we can know the level of addiction or which apps are the favorites since WhatsApp will surely take the cake in this regard. Apart from what can be useful to a user, this app can be very useful to study the use of social networks by a group of young people or adults.
Now it remains to be seen if they launch new updates with new additions such as Facebook Messenger, Line or Snapchat, other of the services most used by users.
