    Use Plan ahead for mornings, mealtimes or weekends. Or start a session with one tap, whenever you like.

  3. 3

    Put your phone down

GOOD QUESTIONS

A few things you might
be wondering.

Does this block my child’s phone?

No. Those Little Years only works on your own iPhone. It’s for you, not your kids.

Why not just use Screen Time?

Screen Time is built for limits. Those Little Years is built for family time. Start a session with one tap, or use Plan ahead to set times that start automatically. Instead of a grey block screen, you get a gentle reminder of why you put the phone down.

What if I really need an app during family time?

Tap “End early” and wait 2 minutes for your session to finish. It’s your phone, and you’re in charge.

Can I choose which apps to pause?

Yes. Pick the apps that pull you in, like social media, video or games. Everything else keeps working as normal.

Will I still get calls and messages?

Yes, unless you choose to pause them. Only the apps you select are paused, so your phone is still there if someone needs you.

Can I plan family time ahead?

Yes. Use Plan ahead to set family time for mealtimes, mornings, evenings or weekends, and sessions will start on their own. You can also start family time whenever you like.

Can Those Little Years see what I do on my phone?

No. The app uses Apple’s Screen Time framework, which keeps your app choices private. We can’t see which apps you picked, what you browse or what you post.

How does the free trial work?

The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial for eligible subscribers. You won’t be charged if you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. You can cancel anytime in your iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions.

Is it available on Android?

Not yet. Those Little Years is iPhone-only for now.
