With the all-new iOS 12, Apple is giving users the much-promised tools to balance their time on and off the screen. Developers can get started with iOS 12 today, and it brings a new Do Not Disturb mode that helps you turn off notifications when you need to focus on your life.

It also adds a brand new Screen Time app that mirrors Android Dashboard features so you can set how much time you should spend in apps to prevent overuse. Screen time should prevent young users from spending too much time at night on social media. It allows parents to control which apps their children can use and for how long. Parents can manage usage remotely and set downtime periods for them.

With the new DND features, your iPhone won't show you a barrage of notifications at night or when you're busy in a meeting. When in DND mode, the display will darken and the phone will automatically hide incoming notifications. When you wake up or are ready to face your phone again, you can turn it off to see your notifications.

It's also easier to manage notifications with iOS 12. Apple is finally bringing grouped notifications to iOS 12 in a huge and long-awaited step. The next big iOS update, which started rolling out to developers today, will support grouped notifications, and you can easily dismiss all alerts from the same app to save yourself from notification hell.
