I’d love to know if my friends are meeting their time saving goals for the day and motivate each other to hit our goals, similar to what Apple does with the activity rings on Apple Watch.

Would love this! Adding friends and checking how well they are doing with apple’s activity rings is a great idea!!

I have many friends on Opal with me and I love this application however I find it frustrating not to be able to compare the times that each of my friends spend in an Opal session.
My proposal is therefore as follows: I think it would attract even more people and personally it would motivate me more to see how much time my friends have passed in a session to be able to pass them and work more than them! Not necessarily see what apps they use but how long they put Opal, that is how much time they spent doing “productive” activities…
Thank you !

Hey @Peds,

Thanks for your suggestions on incorporating social features into Opal. If you’d like to add an extra layer of accountability to your Opal experience, you can add friends and share your daily total Screen Time. To do so, follow these steps:

  • Open the Opal app
  • Tap on your “Profile” tab
  • Tap “Add Friends”
  • A prompt will appear that says “Add your friends to see their Screen Time”
  • Tap “Give Permissions”
  • You will be routed to your device Settings
  • Under “Allow Opal to Access,” toggle on “Contacts”
  • Return to Opal and navigate back to “Add Friends”
  • A list of your contacts with Opal will appear
  • Tap “Done”

It’s important to note that if you’d like to successfully add friends on Opal, both of you must have your phone number linked to your account. If your phone number is not linked to your account, unfortunately, you will be unable to share your Screen Time data. Additionally, to see one another’s Screen Time data, you must have both opened the Opal app in the past 24 hours. For more info on how that works, head here:

Unfortunately, please note it’s not possible to see what amount of their time is spent on productive or distracting apps for privacy reasons!

All the best,
Team Opal
