Woman Lets Husband Check Screen-Time Data—No One Prepared for What He Finds
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A concerned husband has sparked widespread discussion online after revealing that his wife spends up to 10 hours a day on TikTok. Posting under the username u/NeverBled, the Redditor shared screenshots showing his partner's screen time broken down into different apps, including TikTok which ranged from 6 hours and 33 minutes to 9 hours and 57 minutes across five consecutive days. "Last night I got curious and asked my wife to see her screen time since I notice she's on tiktok a lot. "This is what I saw. I kind of laughed when she showed me. I didn't get mad or upset with her—just concerned. A stock image showing a couple lying in bed whilst the man sleeps, the woman scrolls on her phone.

What did you do to help them?" he wrote in the subreddit What Should I Do, where the post quickly went viral, garnering over 16,000 upvotes. According to data compiled in June by the average TikTok user spends approximately 55 minutes and 48 seconds on the app daily—significantly less than the hours clocked by the Redditor's wife. Yaron Litwin, chief marketing officer at Canopy, a parental control app, told Newsweek excessive screen time can be harmful to romantic relationships. "Excessive screen time can be detrimental to relationships, especially if stemming from addiction to social media platforms which can cause one partner to feel disconnected and lonely, no matter how physically present his or her counterpart is," he said. When asked how couples can navigate this kind of issue without causing conflict, Litwin recommended viewing the problem as a mutual challenge in a screen-dominated world. Rather than assigning blame, partners should consider their own habits, too, adding that it can be a case of "let he (or she) who has not sinned cast the first stone." Litwin also emphasized that there's no strict threshold for what constitutes problematic screen time. The real red flag appears when device use interferes with responsibilities, work, parenting, or intimacy. To set healthy boundaries, he suggested that any limits around phone use should apply equally to both people. Tools like screen time management apps, no-device zones, and screen-free periods during meals or bedtime can help. Dr. Ashwini Nadkarni, assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, echoed similar concerns. She told Newsweek: "To approach the issue of screen time in a relationship and set boundaries on usage, it's important to first, develop awareness of whether screen time is becoming a barrier to communication and intimacy." Nadkarni added that excessive screen time can lead to distractibility and interruptions in communication. "At the point at which one partner perceives screen time to be the priority as opposed to the relationship, it defines a red flag," she said. To address the problem, she recommended developing awareness of how screen time may be affecting communication. Partners should express their needs clearly, set specific times for digital engagement, and create designated "tech-free zones" at home to foster deeper connection. Reddit users flooded the thread with their own experiences, reflections, and advice. "Yknow recently, I've started realizing how often I catch myself not even remembering the shorts on youtube I watch," shared one user. "I uninstalled all my apps and got a dumbphone. It runs android 8 so all the messaging apps I need to chat with my friends all work on it. Only browse stuff on the laptop now, and my brain feels less rotted. I'm less anxious and I can actually make progress on my personal projects and sit down & do my hobbies again," suggested another. "The wife and I just decided to do something similar and are setting up the family computer desk just like we had when we grew up and uninstalling all the socials of our phones," another user shared. "I was gonna suggest if you want her with less screen time go out and do stuff together if you have the time," one person wrote. Newsweek reached out to u/NeverBled for comment via Reddit.

Two dead, one injured when truck crashes on FSR in Mission, rolls down embankment
A summer camping trip has ended in tragedy for three young Abbotsford men, after a crash Thursday evening left two of them dead and another with serious injuries. The three 22-year-olds were driving back when their truck left the road around seven kilometres up the Norrish Creek Forest Service Road, east of Mission, crashing down an embankment. Despite his injuries, one of the truck's occupants climbed back up to the road and flagged down a motorist around 9 p.m., who called Mission RCMP. The man said he'd been a passenger in the truck when it crashed. Mission Search and Rescue was called out, and despite the terrain and darkness, they found where the truck had gone off the gravel road, and located the truck's wreckage 300 feet down the embankment in the creek below.

RCMP found the two remaining occupants, who had died as a result of the crash. The survivor had serious but non-life-threatening injuries. A Mission woman died in a similar crash in the area a year ago. The three men had been camping with other friends in the popular backcountry recreation area. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, with the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction unit working with Mission RCMP's Traffic Services Unit. Mission RCMP are asking anyone who saw a red Ford Ranger with a black Canopy in the Norrish Creek area on July 17 to call police, at (604) 826-7161, file 25-8509. There are no road closures in place along the Norrish Creek FSR as a result of the crash. But at the 8 km mark, the City of Abbotsford has put in a gate due to the water treatment facility, with the code available to members of the Abbotsford 4WD Club .

Is it still ‘profit vs planet' for brands?
Nicole Rycroft , founder and the force behind Canopy , a solutions-focused environmental not-for-profit, proudly describes herself as 'fun and sassy' with a hint of troublemaker. That's a fitting mix for someone who's convinced that some of the world's most iconic brands — from LVMH and H&M to Zara and Stella McCartney — need to rethink their impact on the planet. 'Fashion's pretty well positioned to make anything sexy — even supply chains and supply chain transformation,' she tells Brand Equity during a visit to Mumbai. Rycroft's Canopy has partnered with over 1,000 global brands —helping shift entire industries toward sustainable, next-gen alternatives that are better for forests, wildlife and the climate. Edited excerpts: What's your elevator pitch to some of the biggest brands? Large brands understand that sustainability is no longer just 'nice to have'; it's a 'must have'. Traditional take-make-waste models are increasingly volatile. As the climate crisis worsens, we're seeing more frequent and intense floods, wildfires. The conventional fibre baskets that their businesses were built on, are no longer reliable. Looking 15 years ahead, there must be an accelerated transition to more circular, next-gen alternatives built for the 21st century. How did we get into this supply chain mess? It started with the Industrial Revolution, with the idea that we could build an economy around the take-make-waste systems. We don't have the environmental 'bank account' to sustain this model — raw materials make up 85% of a brand's environmental footprint, and the waste created squanders natural and human resources. It's unsustainable. What's the first step that brands can take to fix this? One company, no matter how big, can't change an entire supply chain. We work with brands to develop policies. Fashion brands create a commitment. That means pledging not to source from high-carbon, high-biodiversity forests, which inherently pose business risks. It's about working with us — and with others — in a pre-competitive space to help scale next-gen circular solutions. What are the biggest challenges that brands face when integrating sustainability? Brands are juggling a lot. They need clarity on the most impactful sustainability choices and must accept that they can't transform supply chains on their own. So how do they create the market conditions for lower-impact materials to be available at scale, with the right price points and performance specs? That's where we come in — focussing not on small, exclusive runs, but on shifting the market to make sustainable materials accessible for all. What role does sustainability play in shaping a brand's identity in 2025? I started Canopy in 1999 — many grey hairs ago! Back then, brand executives weren't returning my calls. But now, they do. We are in a different time — both, socially and politically. People are more aware of climate change and biodiversity loss. They want to wear designs and support brands that reflect their values. We're seeing fashion lovers gravitate toward brands that integrate sustainability into their core. How can brands balance profitability with environmental responsibility? That's an outdated dichotomy — profit v. planet. Also, governments are banning deforestation-derived materials and requiring eco-design and recycled content. So, brands that delay the transition face increased risks and costs. Companies say customers won't pay more for sustainable options. Will this change with consumer education? While people claim in polls that they would pay more, at the checkout, it's a different story. But fashion, especially luxury, is different — consumers pay for exclusivity. Brands need to scale production so sustainable options don't carry a premium. Just like solar energy costs dropped by 90% in 10 years, we're studying that and applying it to textiles. Fast fashion and sustainability seem at odds. How do brands like Zara and H&M reconcile their business models with environmental goals? They were two of our earliest partners. They've helped shift viscose sourcing away from high carbon forests and have pushed their suppliers to improve. They're also collaborating with others to pioneer and scale next-gen materials. They know they have volume — and influence — and are trying to leverage it. As consumers, how should we read clothing labels? What should we look for? Actually, before looking at the label, ask: 'Do I really need this?' Then check the label — look for recycled content, organic cotton, next-gen fibres such as Circulose, CIRC, etc. Many brands highlight these on tags. Which industry, other than fashion and publishing, would you give a makeover to? Food and beverage. The industry uses a lot of paper packaging, which impacts forests. Plus, many of the food commodities have major land-use impacts. It's an area ripe for change.
