My camera activity is negligible yet the screen time shows the camera has been used for 20 hr a day etc even in the hours when I’m sleeping and I do take proper care of closing my apps often! Please guide me why this discrepancy! It wasn’t like this

Why does my screen time show a whopping 20hr screen time for the camera app when I barely use the camera!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Sometimes the app tracking gets bugged and keeps counting app usage after it is closed. The best thing to do is to restart your device. This wont clear the false usage, but it should stop it from counting more usage.
