Nowadays, a smartphone can be a great distractor, but at the same time it can be used as a tool to improve reading habits.

Bedtime mode for reading at night

Google points out that taking a book to bed is a habit that many enjoy, although constantly checking chats and social networks can be an impediment to start reading.

One way to get the most out of your phone is to establish sleeping habits. On Android devices, bedtime mode is available in the settings menu.

Goodbye notifications

Another method to read calmly and without disturbances, you can activate the "Do not interrupt" mode of Android. With this the phone will be silenced, stop vibrations and block visual disturbances. It can be programmed so that in a certain period of time you do not receive messages from work and choose what will be blocked and what will be displayed on the screen.

Family Link App

The Family Link app helps parents decide how much Internet time is appropriate for their children, which can vary depending on whether they use the devices for reading, watching videos or playing video games. You can also set a daily limit on Android device usage and set a bedtime so that the phone locks when it's time to go to sleep, replacing the phone with a book.
