Change App Category for Screen Time

Hello,


I have set a screen time limit on my social network apps but I use WhatsApp for work. WhatsApp is currently bundled in with social networking. Is there away to remove it from those apps so it doesn’t contribute to the social network screen time? I have WhatsApp set so I can always access it, but because I use it so much even if I dont use any social networks my screen time always exceeds my limits.


Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 11.4.1

This is the same issue I have. How does SKYPE for Business count as social Media? I'm trying to allow this feature to help me organize my life and it's adding stumbling blocks. lol


I agree that it would defeat the purpose for every app to be able to be able to have their category changed on a whim... (like being able to place Facebook under productivity)... but it should be quite obvious that skype for BUSINESS isn't a social thing. LinkedIn should also be placed into productivity.
And So should educationally based games.


Maybe those apps with blurred lines could have a way to change?
