Do you love your iPhone?Watch The Fourth Body Online Like reallylove it? Well, Apple might just have something to say about that.
The company is reportedly working on new features for iOS that are meant to help curb our collective iPhone addiction, which will be unveiled at next week's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

If that sounds familiar, that's because it's similar to Google's recently announced Android updates, which are also meant to combat phone addiction. In Google's case, they include a new app timer, which lets you set time limits for using specific apps as well as a new "shush" feature, which activates "Do Not Disturb" mode when your phone is face down.
It's not clear how far Apple plans to go with its approach, and whether the new settings menu will let you set app-specific limits or simply make it easier to see just how much time you're wasting those apps. (iOS already lets you view app usage stats in your settings, but the company could make the feature more prominent and more detailed.)
Some app makers have already taken it upon themselves to build features that could reduce the amount of time users spend in their app. YouTube recently added a "take a break" feature to remind users when to stop watching, and Instagram announced an "insights" feature that will show just how much time you're spending in the app.
