Step by step

1. 

   Open Digital Wellbeing

   Go to Settings, Digital Wellbeing and parental controls. The circle shows today's total and splits it by app: Settings, Camera, Phone, Security and Other on ours.

   Done

2. 

   Open App timers

   Scroll down and tap App timers. Your apps are listed, each with an hourglass on the right.

   Done

3. 

   Set the time

   Tap the hourglass next to an app. Set app timer opens with hours and minutes. It says the timer will reset at midnight. Pick a time and tap OK.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• No Digital Wellbeing row? Search Settings for Digital Wellbeing. Xiaomi's guide lists it as Digital Wellbeing & parental controls; our screen read Digital Wellbeing and parental controls. Source: Generic User Guide for HyperOS 3.0
• No App timers on the first screen? It is below the circle and Ways to disconnect; scroll down. On ours it said No timers set.

If this does not work

• Timer ran out but you need the app? Google says the app icon turns grey when its timer runs out. Change or delete the timer in App timers. Source: Manage how you spend time on your Android phone with Digital Wellbeing
• Apps still distracting? Xiaomi says Focus, in Digital Wellbeing, pauses the apps you choose and hides their notifications until you turn it off. Source: Generic User Guide for HyperOS 3.0
• Timer seems to restart? The sheet says the timer resets at midnight, so it counts again from zero each day.

About this guide

Xiaomi uses Google's Digital Wellbeing for screen time. On our phone it showed 51 minutes, 8 unlocks and 5 notifications for the day.

The screenshots are from our Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G with Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.308.0 and Android 16, in Light mode. We opened a timer and tapped Cancel; no timer was set.
