I have a different issue, it doesnt seem to update my screentime? It says how screentime will be visualized as soon as you start using your phone but i have had the update for a while and it still hasnt registered any minutes

My phone says I’ve been on websites that I’ve never been on before, any help for that? I only need to be on google without typing anything in for it to say I’ve been on betting sites, rude sites and a streaming site for movies. Not a clue how to change it.

I researched a lot, formatted dozen of times my iPhone X, finally I found your video. Finally it was safe to say my Screen Time wasn't working because of the iCloud family sharing, it was crashing all the time, from the start up. When I finally fixed Screen Time, by logging off my iCloud account I was able to use Screen Time, but I could not log back any iCloud account anymore. The solution I found was temporary disable family sharing... Now everything is working fine. Thank you for the video.

Apparently I use my Ipad Pro 10.5. 26 hours a day and according to apple, I only use it on the toilet.

I remember playing games for 2 hours and it only says 30 mins

I wish I’ve seen this earlier. I got it to work by restoring all settings and sign back in to everything...WiFi, wallets...etc
Good to know going forward.

I’m facing an error in which it’s showing 9-10hrs of screen time due to settings being run. I don’t know why

When I click my screen time setting crashes it’s been doing this for a good 5 months now

What happens if there is no iCloud family account? Am I restricted forever?

Hi! Question! Does my parent/ guardian have to be running iOS 12 for this to work? I’ve tried everything! Thanks!

When I try and use screen time the content and privacy part, I try and disable some apps for my child but it doesn't work? When I press in allowed apps, the safari button to disable or enable it, it doesn't take the app away or give it back. Neither does any of the other apps either, or really any of the settings in that area.

@ 1:23 your screen shows “social networking with a blue box and red heart” what does that stand for? An app? Or what?

[Primaparamour]

Why the F won't it allow me to set it to the times I want to set it to? The little time dial keeps putting it to whatever it wants to put it on and won't allow me to select the time I choose.

Hey I need your help. I have updated iOS 12 beta on iPhone 7 without backing up. But now my camera app is not showing anywhere. Kindly guide me how to fix it or how to downgrade to iOS 11.4 without loosing my data.

I have a different issue that I can't find any information on it. Under 'Battery' in Settings on my iPhone 6s the graphs show that I have my screen on for 12 hours and my screen off for 9 minutes. This is not true, because I only use my phone sometimes in the afternoon and right before I go to sleep. This nonexistent usage is making my phone overheat, and I don't know how to fix it.

Can anyone tell me why my walking activity is recording too high

[nycgirllauren]

This thing sucks. Mine keeps like resetting for some reason. I like to keep track but I hate that it’s not reliable
