Systems and methods for prompting a user to view an important event in a media asset when the user is using another application

A system comprising:

• a first device comprising control circuitry configured to:
• generate for display, at the first device, a media asset;
• determine that a user has stopped viewing the media asset on the first device to access an application on a second device;
• retrieve, from the second device, a first indication of an amount of content in the application;
• retrieve, from the second device, a second indication of an average usage time for the application;
• calculate an estimated usage time for the application on the second device based on the first indication and the second indication;
• access metadata of the media asset;
• determine, based on the metadata, a playback time of an important event in the media asset;
• determine a threshold amount of time until playback of the important event based on the determined playback time and a current playback time;
• compare the threshold amount of time with the estimated usage time;
• determine, based on the comparing, that the estimated usage time is greater than the threshold amount of time;
• and
• in response to determining that the estimated usage time is greater than the threshold amount of time, generate for display, on the second device, an alert, the alert reminding the user to view the media asset on the first device.
