Strange phantom apps showing under Screen Time>Always Allowed

On my iPhone 6s+, strange apps with long random names are showing under Screen Time>Always Allowed. One app is called OB37OF2ED1284C89A... I have five apps with long names with cap letters and numbers randomly mixed in. These apps only shows up under the app list for Screen Time>Always Allowed. Anyone encountered this? And how do you get rid of these phantom apps?

Hi Nando2012,

I had the same issue. In my case the "phantom" apps were shortcuts to web pages that I placed on the home screen.

I deleted the shortcuts and the "phantom" dissapeared.

Good Luck,
