How to make apple screen time more accurate

Hey everyone,


Is there a way to exclude certain apps from being including in the apple screentime daily/weekly reports? I listen to music through apple music on my iphone 8 plus while I'm working or in school and find that the time I spend listening to music drives up my screen time even though I'm not actively using my phone while listening to music.


Can I exclude my music from being included in my iphone's screentime report?


I also listen to music with the screen shut off and use airpods/bluetooth to listen to music on my phone.



iPhone 8 Plus

Hi joshsuh0627, 


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I understand you would like to exclude the Music app from your Screen Time reports.

This is not currently possible.
