will offloading app delete screen time history?

I've been meaning to delete an app so I can reset its screen time activity, but I'm wondering if offloading it will have the same effect

Hey there shireen0504,


Upon researching your question, we found more details about what offloading an app would do under the section 'Use your device to check its storage' here: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad


Per the details in that section, it explains that offloading an app frees up storage used by the app, but keeps its documents and data. For this reason, it stands to reason that the Screen Time history for that app would remain.


If you'd like to provide Apple Support with feedback to consider regarding Screen Time, you can use this link to submit it: Product Feedback


Cheers!
