Screentime showing constant usage of apps I did not use

The screentime function on my iPad has been showing a constant use of apps like YouTube and Instagram for like 17 hours a day or more, for a couple days now, even though I haven't been using them at all.

I also have a time limit set for them which locks the apps after 1 hour of use.

Everytime I open my iPad, all my apps are locked with it, even though I did not use them.


Please remedy this or help me figure out why this is happening.

Hello ~ Turn off Screen Time, restart your device and enable Screen Time again. One you enable it, test to see if the issue persists. More information can be found here…


Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
