Navigate to Settings and Privacy after opening Instagram.
Next, locate and open Time Spent.
This is where you can view the average amount of time you spend using the app each day.
Select the amount of time you wish to spend on Instagram by tapping on Daily Limit. Instagram will prompt you to end the session if you've gone over this point.
