I am not sure what you are adding and how you are adding.


Look at the pic below a cut-out view of your screen shot from your post.




Total Screen Time is a+b+c


In order to understand this better read this example below.


There are 9 Categories in Screen Time

  1. Social Networking: FaceBook, Hangout, Instagram
  2. Games : Scrabble, PUBG
  3. Entertainment: Netflix, Amazon Music
  4. Creativity: Photos, Google Photos
  5. Productivity: HDFC Bank
  6. Education: SkyView, Learn Python
  7. Reading & Reference: Kindle, NDTV
  8. Health & Fitness: BeatO, Health, Activity
  9. Others : Big Basket, 


The graph displays top 3 (Time used by user) category legends in X axis. Anything other than these legend categories is Grey bar in the graph


For example:

If the user has used Games, Entertainment & Others category apps for the maximum time during a time span then the graph will show these three categories in the X axis as legends and remaining categories will be shown in Grey Colour.


The GIF below will illustrate the graph from 3 iOS devices

iPhone 6 iOS 12.4.5

iPhone SE iOS 13.3.1

iPad Pro 9.7" Wifi+Cellular iOS 13.3.1
