Screen Time shows inflated usage with unexplained grey bars Can we talk screen time. I’ve searched several times to find the answer I’m looking for but can’t find it. As you can see in the picture there are many grey bars that count toward my screen time use. I can assure you I haven’t been on the phone for 11+hrs. The grey bars from 12am to 6 I was sleeping. The only application use was the alarm clock. So what are those few bars and how can I get a more accurate reading of my screen time?

I have tried turning background refresh off and back on to no avail. I leave my phone on all the time. Anyone else having this issue? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I do have several devices but it seems most activity was on my MacBook Pro. Have restarted it and closed down all applications and seems back to normal. Safari was the main app using “time” - weird.

Do you have more than one Apple device?

That is a combined total for ALL of your devices.
