I know this has been asked before, but what’s with the long hours of gray in my screen time reporting? I will have something like one hour of active screen time across all categories, and then my reporting says I spend something like 15-18 hours on the screen. It’s very frustrating. Running an Apple Watch and two iPads.
Hi hatches,
With the gray bar that can indicate apps that may be running in the background. You can see which items are using that duration in Settings > Screen Time > See All Activity. Once there you can also see what category has also been used by tapping Show Category.
Take care!
Hello hatches,
It sounds as though you're asking what the gray portion of the graph is for Screen Time. This graph provides various categories of data. The gray portion of the bar would be app classifications that doesn't fall into Social, Productivity, and Games. For example if you access settings, or use a utilities type app it would fall into the gray portion of the graph.
More information about Screen Time can be found in Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Have a great week!
Hi Melissa,
I don’t use anything for 18 hours a day though. Could this possibly be tracking my Apple Watch or something of the like?
