I used a covid 19 link from reddit recently and this evening I’ve noticed that my screen time was for the whole day and it was the link from reddit when I haven’t been using my phone much today. It’s a non-government affiliated website that uses official data from the health department to update people on covid in their area. I can’t find the website open on any browsers on my phone. Is it possibly a virus?

Hello amy-kate,
We understand that you're seeing an unknown function in your Screen Time. Given the description, it's possible this link allows software to run in the background to keep up to date on your location. Check and see if a profile was installed on your iPhone:

Thanks!
This is happening to me too, there doesn’t seem to be any other profile installed on my iPhone 13 but the screen time each day for this site is literally all day. I have closed my browser and reopened it but the time continues to accrue in screen time. I am not a Holiday Inn Club person and do not believe I’ve ever visited the site. Can you help explain this and how I fix it?
