The government is considering measures to ban children from spending more than two hours on any one mobile phone app at a time. 

Technology Secretary Peter Kyle is mulling a move to cap the amount of time per app youngsters can spend on their phone as part of a swathe of measures designed to reduce 'doomscrolling'. 

The package could also include preventing children from accessing social media apps, such as TikTok or Snapchat, after 10pm and during school hours.
