【Step Sister Ki Havash (2023) Hindi Short Film】

Like any self-styled benevolent overlord hosting a conference to fete itself,Step Sister Ki Havash (2023) Hindi Short Film Apple wants to make one thing clear: It cares about your well-being.

And so, at today's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, Apple senior vice president Craig Federighi announced a new set of iOS features designed to combat a scourge of its own making: so-called device addiction.

Federighi teed up the announcement with an acknowledgment that apps "beg us to use our phone," and that "we might not even recognize just how distracted we become."

Indeed, it's hard to truly become an enlightened shaman when you stare at Instagram all day long.

But don't worry, Apple's got you covered. It starts with "Do Not Disturb during Bedtime," which, when turned on, hides notifications received during a pre-selected time period.

When it's enabled, explained Federighi, there's "nothing to see to get you spun up."

Truly amazing.

Next, comes advanced notification settings and grouped notifications. The first gives you more control over how your notifications are delivered. The second, as the name suggests, groups like notifications together and allows you to dismiss them all at once. Fun!

But that's all small news compared to Screen Time. According to Federighi, "Screen Time empowers you with both insight and control over how you spend your time."

We're getting closer to that promised enlightened shaman status.

With Screen Time, you can both set app time limits, and get a detailed activity report sent to you every week.

And, if you approach your self-determined limited, you'll receive a notification telling you you're running out of time.

But wait, there's more. Because while Apple has clearly realized you have no self-control and thus needs all this digital assistance to combat your digital addiction, the company wants to make it easier for you to use the little control you do have on your kids. Say hello to "allowances," which let you limit the apps your kids use and the time spent on approved apps.

Daughter spending too much time on Facebook? Go ahead and block it on her device. Want to see what your son is up to? You better believe that you can get activity reports from his device sent your way.

After all, what's the fun of being a parent if you can't monitor your child's every digital move?

"We aim to put the customer at the center of everything that we do," Tim Cook told the gathered crowd of developers and press at the top of WWDC. And now, thanks to Apple caring so much about our digital well-being, Cook can finally rest assured knowing the mission has been accomplished.
