Apple Maps/Podcasts Screen Time in CarPlay

"Apple Maps/Podcasts Screen Time in CarPlay: I am trying to reduce my screen time this year. I am really confused how certain apps count screen time such as Apple Maps and Podcasts. [...]Is there a way I can avoid this counting towards my screen time count without avoiding these apps altogether?"

Excluding CarPlay from being Counted in Screen Time:

You Can't. What you are looking to perform is not an option. The only option you have is to restrict their use entirely (through use of ScreenTime). As a result, this would prevent these apps from appearing in the report.

Provide Feedback:

Being Screen Time is not a feedback option, you'll have to use the iPhone site to so so.

1. Go Here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
2. Select: "Feature Request" for the "Feedback Type"
3. Comment: that you want this to be an option, and how it can help others. Include the URL of this thread.
4. Proceed form there as necessary

• You cannot exclude specific apps from Screen Time totals
• You cannot tell Screen Time to ignore CarPlay
• “Always Allowed” apps still count toward total time (they just ignore limits)
