Big screen time bug

So when I wake up, my screentime shows like 10 hours of consecutive app time, even though screentime resets everyday. I have 4 hours of screentime but for some reason my phone leaves some app open the whole night meaning I have no screentime left.

How do i fix this? It makes my iPhone unusable and this happens often

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Screen time turning off Why is the screentime turning off randomly? I have been a long time Android user and made the switch to the iPhone 14 for my preteen and myself for the promise of the safety features of using the screentime limit, blocking apps, content regulation. None of this is working and has caused so many problems in the few months we have had it! Has anyone had any luck with this?

Screentime running while phone is turned off New iPhone 16 with new iOS 18 While the phone is off (fully powered off), the Screentime app counts this time as being "active". It doesn't mark any particular app as being active, the bar graph is just grayed out for the time period. But the hour bars are fully solid gray during the time that the phone is powered off, and it marks the time as "screen time". I'm not sure how to fix this. I've already confirmed that "Share across devices" is disabled.

How can I prevent Screen Time glitches on my iPhone? I turn my phone off every night around 10pm and turn it back on around 6:30am. Today I turned my phone on to the screen time on all night while my phone was off and me message app at 7hrs. What’s the cause for the glitch? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How does it make your phone unusable? Is your phone being controlled by your parents?

It looks like SnapChat has gone rogue. Try deleting it and re-installing it.
