Screen time widget showing only shared screen time

So, I just updated my iPhone 13 to iOS 17.5 and the first bug started. I usually keep a screen time widget on my home page, and it shows only my phone’s screen time, because I don’t track it on my iPad since I mostly use it for studying and reading.

Now, though, the screen time widget only shows scared screen time, no matter that the share across devices toggle is turned off in the setting app on both devices. If I manually go into the screen time setting i can see my phone screen time just fine, but it doesn’t work on the widget.

Is it only me? Is there a way to solve it? Am I being dumb and there’s a simple solution I haven’t seen yet? Thanks for any advice.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Same here. There’s definitely something wrong with this widget.

According to you all the iPhone 13 with iOS 17.5 will have this issue?

Unless your device is Jailbroken.

It's not always the iOS update's fault! Many things can cause phone problems. If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution! Please look in the right direction.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
