Unknown phone in my screen time

So I checked my screen time settings and was just messing around looking at them. I turned on “Share across devices” and then clicked on devices in the top right corner and a random phone that I do not know popped up. I checked with everyone in my family and it’s not theirs. I left the share across devices option on for a bit and saw no activity from this device so I eventually turned of the sharing option. I have not signed into my iCloud on anyone else’s device. Does anyone know why this would happen or has happened?

What is shared is Screen Time settings, and it can be shared with other devices on your Apple ID or in your family group.



Go to Settings/[your name] and scroll down. This will list all devices sharing your Apple ID account.


Next tap Family and see if the information is correct.
