What it does

Digital Wellbeing is Google's screen-time app, built into Settings on Pixels and many other phones. It counts the time spent in each app, how many notifications you get and how often you unlock the phone, and it runs app timers, Bedtime mode and Focus mode. On a child's phone, screen time limits a parent sets through Family Link can depend on it as well. It runs in the background to collect usage statistics.

If you disable it

The screen-time dashboard, app timers, Bedtime mode and Focus mode stop working, and limits set through Family Link may no longer apply.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

Disable it (reversible)

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.wellbeing

Turn it back on

adb shell pm enable com.google.android.apps.wellbeing

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

Uninstall for the main user

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.wellbeing

Restore after an uninstall

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.apps.wellbeing

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery

Keeps app usage, notification and unlock counts on the device; Google's help page shows how to manage or delete this data in Digital Wellbeing settings.
