24hr phone usage for a website I’m not on

Starting last week, my phone usage is showing constant usage for TechCrunch.com. I have visited the site recently (Brave Browser) but I don’t have any open tabs.


im less concerned about the false usage report and more that there is something malicious going on

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, _T_O_M_!


We understand you're seeing a high usage time shown for a website you weren't using for as long as shown. We'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.


Try clearing the history and website data on both Safari and Brave Browser:

Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

How do I manage Shields and other Privacy options on iOS?


Give Screen Time a day to update and see if it keeps showing high usage.

Have a great day!
