screentime

Longtime Apple fan here. I've got 2 kids, one with an iPad 8 and one with an iPad 9 and I'm on an iPhone 13 Pro. All running the latest software. I have been trying to get the screentime app to function properly for over a year now and can't seem to make it happen. I thought it was user error at...

Hi, This app "HelpViewer" is open all the time, it causes almost my whole screen time and it's annoying, I have tried to quit the application and it worked first, but then again it started running somehow in the background. Even force quitting does't help, because HelpViewer does not show up in...

Hi all! I’m one of the people working on Attentive - Good Phone Habits https://apps.apple.com/app/attentive-good-phone-habits/id1559421907 an app that helps you waste less time with mindlessly scrolling stuff on your phone and use your device(s) for more meaningful things. We spent some time...

Hi there, since some weeks I've noticed that my phone has a higher amount of Screetime, but I thought it must be from me locking up the macbook air delivery very often and other parcels for christmas coming. But recently I have found out that Waze, despite running on my Car Display in CarPlay...

Hi long story short I am not seeing matching times across all devices I am seeing different times on all devices even though I have “Share Across Devices” turned on across all devices. I am also not seeing a way to cycle through my devices on iOS. When I go on Mac OS on the bottom section where...

I am hoping someone can help. I used restrictions prior to IOS 12 on my son's phone to prevent him from using Safari. He got a new phone and went to IOS 12 and screen time now manages the restrictions. Because I had Safari disabled when I upgraded, I am unable to find Safari to re-enable. It...

Wondering if anyone else is getting this. I run family sharing with my two children and have set a Screen Time Passcode for their phones. They have a Downtime and some App limits. It tends to work great but for a couple of glitches that regularly occur. Every couple of days I randomly...

I've activated ScreenTime but it will randomly rest/erase all statistics a fews times a week or not record entirely on some days. I'm running ios 12.0.1 and have been having this issue since installing the public final version of iOS 12. I did not install any betas on this device ever and I...

Hello, Anyone else running into this kind of issue described below? We have family sharing enabled across three devices (Two parents with iPhones (one organizer account, one parent/guardian account) one child with iPad). When activating Screen Time on the parent/guardian device the iPad shows...

Screen Time is... kinda weird. I have no idea what the "grey" bars mean. Coloured bars usually mean some sort of application category. But the grey bars? Last night I had a lot of "grey bar activity" (whatever that is). I first thought it might be the iCloud backup, which usually happens over...

I'm thinking of contacting Apple about this and thought I'd run it past this forum first in case I am mistaken and also to see if any one else feels the same way: I like to keep control of my iPhone apps. I use restrictions to block stuff I never use, similar to how I don't enable wi-fi and...

Anyone know what apps fall under the “entertainment” section and the “social media” section? Asking because Instagram is listed separately and that is definitely social media. I would think YouTube falls under entertainment but it is listed separately. Thanks!
