Standby mode and Screen time

iOS 17.2.1 iPhone 15 PM


When iPhone is locked and then put on standby mode, screen time records what the phone was displaying when it was locked (an app like calculator) during standby.


  1. Open an app (I tested with Instagram and Calculator)
  2. Press the lock button
  3. Put the phone on a MagSafe charger stand horizontally
  4. Allow the iPhone to charge for an hour or so
  5. Check Screen time and that hour during standby is shown as the app it was opened


I Personally found this a bit annoying because it records me having a screen time of 8 hours when I don’t, and makes it harder to manage when I actually use my phone.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
