How to view Pickups settings in Screen Time on iPhone?

I have reviewed the page in the Mac User Guide that details how to View Pickups settings in Screen Time on Mac, and when I go to the Screen Time settings on my Mac (latest OS), I can see that it is also tracking how often I pick up my iPhone.

However, when I go to Screen Time settings on my new iPhone (16 Pro, latest OS), I don't see anywhere that I can view "Pickups".

My phone is clearly tracking this information, as it is visible from my Mac.

Is there a way to see this information on the iPhone?

Thanks!

UPDATE: I found this information in "Settings: Screen Time: All Devices: See All App & Website Activity" and then scroll down the the "Pickups" section.

The pic below is self-explanatory

I have not come across an official definition of "pickup" in Screen Time by Apple, but based on what I have discovered, a pickup likely occurs when you interact with your device in a way that suggests intentional use.

In the context of Apple's Screen Time settings, a "pickup" is generally defined as an instance where the device is physically picked up or moved, leading to its screen being turned on. This can happen when you unlock the device, view notifications, or even when it's picked up without unlocking due to notifications appearing on the lock screen.
