Google previews Weekly Insights screen-time summaries in Digital Wellbeing beta
Google is preparing Weekly Insights, a weekly screen-time recap in Android’s Digital Wellbeing app.
The feature was previously called Weekly Wrap and appears in a beta version of the app.
Its planned slides show average daily use by app category, time spent in browser and social apps, and the week’s most-opened app.
A weekly notification is expected to direct users to the recap, which they may also be able to revisit in the app.
The final slide invites users to explore settings with Gemini, but Gemini did not have direct access to device usage statistics during testing.
The recap worked on a test device without Gemini Nano models, suggesting its basic statistics may work on more devices, but Google has not confirmed a public release.
Google has renamed its planned screen-time recap feature from “Weekly Wrap” to “Weekly Insights” in a Digital Wellbeing beta.
The feature is designed to provide weekly summaries of app use, including time spent by category and the most-opened app.
A final screen encourages users to explore Digital Wellbeing settings with Gemini.
Android Authority tested the feature on a rooted device without Gemini Nano models installed.
The feature has not yet been confirmed for public release.
