Disable (Battery usage by App)

I want to disable (battery usage by app) that track what app I spend time on the most. You know it make me do not have privacy. If someone want to check what I spend time on, they always go there and check easily. This is getting me into trouble.


If Apple doesn't have solution to turn this feature off, do not put it there. And this might be the end of your product to me.

If you are a minor and your parents have Family sharing turned on then they benefit as they can see you are mostly playing games. If this is a work phone, i.e., either your work provided it or you use it for work and it is a managed device this benefits your employer as they want you to be working with their device.


If this is your device and only you have access to it then no one else can see what you are doing so I don't see what the issue is then. It is very helpful if a user has a battery malfunction and something is draining their battery to see what it is and to take appropriate action. It can also help Apple techs if they are diagnosing a phone.


No, Apple does not collect your battery usage and can only see it if you give them permission, such as getting your phone serviced. It makes no sense to turn off battery usage information, it can be very valuable. It is not a privacy issue or a software coding issue.

Thanks for good answer for the question. You did a good job. But it doesn't satisfy customer's need. I want to turn it off but now I know this Software have nothing to do with it because they intended to make it like this. It is Engineer's fault. This is smart phone it is smarter than human we are the dumb person cannot stop what the phone is doing. Later on they will put anything people doesn't asked for and we just use it. That's all it about.

This can only happen if:

  • You are a minor, being supervised in Family Sharing. In that case, your parents can supervise your iPhone use. Or:
  • You are sharing your device/Apple ID with someone else. You should never do this. Each person requires their own Apple ID.
