Apple Music not adding up in screen time

My son listens to Apple Music but the limits aren’t working since he doesn’t have it up on his screen when listening. How can I fix so it’s total time listening?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16

Hi Ocmommy22,

I know how to set up screen time as well as limits and have that set up correctly. My question is how to get screen time to track Apple Music usage when he’s not actually on the screen. For example, if he is listening to it for an hour through his AirPods how do I get screen time to show that?

Thanks! I've tried that and super frustrating that Apple doesn't have screen time as an option for help, discussion or feedback. Hopefully soon!
