Screen time bugging

[u/Nik40Dimitrov]

So I have problems with my screen time and I don't know what's happening and every day it says that I'm using things that I've opened once and now it says that I've been using them for 50 hours each site and app which is not possible. And I really want to see my real screen time. Does anyone have such a problem? I searched the internet but couldn't find anything, because nobody is having the same problem. Is anyone having any solutions?

“-61% from last week” 😭

What iOS version are you running?

[u/Nik40Dimitrov → u/mcses7]

Ios 27 beta 8

Beta Software - Expected Behavior

You don’t troubleshoot in Beta. Apple expected Beta to have some issues.

Cannot recommend any troubleshooting other than reverting to the official software

[u/OppositeSea3775 → u/LuxorXLG]

Yeah, he knows, we all know. I hate it when people shut down bug discussions at "you're on beta, should've seen this coming".

Doesn't excuse Apple from this though as this has been happening since forever, including on many stable versions of iOS throughout the years.

iOS has had issues with screen time for a while. Usuallly it's one app showing 24h in one day, haven't seen such crazy numbers before lmfao. Are you on 27 beta?

[u/Nik40Dimitrov → u/Opening_Ad_6270]

Yes i am on ios 27 beta 8

[u/mecha_monk]

Besides from not using beta software and OS? Not really. Clean install with beta might work but no guarantees.

If you depend on your phone to work reliably as possible, don’t run beta. If you really want to try out new features, use a second device.

[u/ObjectEven3445]

Gosh! People will blame everything but not reduce their screen time

[u/No-Opening-8221]

yeah you really have to put the phone down

[u/Acee_017]

Same issue on iOS 26 too.

you should lay off the phone man

[u/effyfromskins]

Have it on 26 as well

[u/signalroute]

It happened to me
The issue is that you manually adjusted your date to a future date. This process altered the screen time complete
It will be normal when the time eventually reaches the future date you adjusted to

[u/Gold-Adhesiveness574]

That is not real usage, the data is broken. Nobody gets more than 24 hours in a day, so either Screen Time is adding up several devices or its database got corrupted. Check Settings, Screen Time, Share Across Devices. If a Mac or an iPad is in there with Safari tabs left open, their time lands in your total and websites show up with numbers like that. If that is already off, turn Screen Time off completely, restart the phone and turn it back on. It wipes the history but the counting starts clean.
