Would you use a weekly phone screen-time summary to cut back on your phone use?
Google is preparing Weekly Insights, an interactive weekly screen-time summary in Digital Wellbeing that replaces the feature previously known as Weekly wrap. The recap arrives as a weekly notification and walks users through daily average use, app time across browser and social apps, and their most-opened app.
Why it matters
The feature gives users a regular, structured look at how they spend time on their phones, which can help them adjust habits. Its planned Gemini link would let users move from viewing usage data to changing device settings in one step.
The observations come from a beta build (v1.50.1015162751.beta) and tests on a rooted device without Gemini Nano models downloaded, so the final feature may differ. The recap's categories are daily average use, browser and social app time, and most-opened app, but no benchmark or population figures were reported.
The players
Google is a technology company that develops the Android operating system, the Digital Wellbeing app, and the Gemini AI assistant.
Gemini
Gemini is Google's AI assistant, which the Weekly Insights suggestion screen would link to for changing device settings.
The details
Weekly Insights runs as a series of recap slides opened from a weekly notification or directly from the Digital Wellbeing app. The final slide offers a Suggestion screen; tapping Explore settings opens the Gemini app with a prefilled prompt. Early code points to Gemini Nano for on-device analysis, though test devices did not show the Gemini Nano model being used.

Wellness Context
Weekly Insights builds on Digital Wellbeing, the Android tool Google launched in 2018 to show screen time and app usage. Adding a scheduled recap tied to Gemini moves that tool from passive reporting toward guided behavior change.
Users who get a weekly notification could check their average daily phone use and most-opened apps and then change settings through the Gemini suggestion. The feature is still in testing, so availability on any given phone is not yet known.
The takeaway
A weekly screen-time recap can make phone habits easier to notice and act on. Checking your most-opened apps once a week is a simple way to start adjusting them.
