How to exclude specific apps from Screen Time reporting on iPhone? How to exclude certain apps from screen time reporting? e.g. I drive a lot and use waze/maps. They shouldn’t practically be counted towards my screen time. Or some baby monitor apps which keeps the screen on but you rarely look at screen constantly. [Re-Titled By Moderator]

Why are apps affected by downtime counting towards Screen Time on iPhone 16e but not on iPhone 11 Pro Max? So, I’m used to my apps that are affected by downtime not counting towards the screen-time timer (how much screen-time you have daily), but since i’ve gotten my new phone, these apps are now counting towards screen-time. This hasn't happened before. Does anyone know why it’s counting on this phone (16e) and not my older one (11 Pro Max)?? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How can I prevent Screen Time from misreporting app usage on iPhone? I’m having issues where Screen Time will add time spent on an app, when that time was never actually spent. This results in both the average time being inaccurate and time limits set on apps activating prematurely. (Ex: it will suddenly tell me my time is up without any prior notification, and I look at the screen time and random times for the apps will be shown in settings) I’ve shut off all background activity for the apps under the limits, I close out of the apps when I’m not using them and it still happens. Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone have a solution? [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Screen Time adding extra time to an app that wasn’t on screen
