Yellow warning triangle on screen time

What does the yellow triangle with an exclamation mark mean on screen time?

It has appeared next to google chrome for me and i don't know what it represents.

Hi massimiliano161,


If you haven't done so yet, restart your Mac. Although simple, this step can help refresh macOS and correct some unexpected issues. Installing the latest available version of the app may also help: How to manually update apps on your Apple device.

How to manually update apps on your Mac

1. Open the App Store.
2. In the sidebar, click Updates.
3. Click Update next to an app to update only that app, or click Update All.

If you didn’t get the app from the App Store on your Mac, contact the app developer to get help with updates.

If the issue persists, try testing your Mac in safe mode. This will start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents some software from automatically loading or opening, which could help narrow down the cause of the issue. This article will walk you through the steps: How to use safe mode on your Mac.

2. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window.
3. Select your startup disk, then press and hold the Shift key while clicking “Continue in Safe Mode.”
4. Log in to your Mac. You might be asked to log in again.

Intel processor
1. Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key as your Mac starts up.
2. Release the key when you see the login window, then log in to your Mac. 
3. You might be asked to log in again. On either the first or second login window, you should see ”Safe Boot” in the upper-right corner of the window.

Cheers!
