Screen Time Feature Change

Would anyone else be interested in having a list of apps that don't count towards Screen Time, rather than just a list of apps that work once the Screen Time limit is met?


Currently the "Always Allowed" Screen Time apps still deduct time from the amount of screen time allowed. It would be nice if there was a list of apps that didn't deduct time, or if "Always Allowed" apps could be set not to deduct time.


The issue I'm having is if my son is using a fitness app, like Trailforks, or a reading app, such as Kindle, it's taking time away from his allotted time. So he's essentially being penalized for exercising or reading because he then can't use his phone for other things.


I submitted a feedback request but I'm sure it's going to just go and never be looked at.
