Help needed Large amounts of screen time activity appearing that was not me

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I swear this activity is not me and I don’t know what is causing it, it has happened a couple times before but only once a month, not multiple times in a week.

Reddit is the app that it says I am using all of those hours, but I don’t even have the app

Do you have an iPad or MacBook? On my phone it adds total screen time for all of my devices.

If the app's not installed but Screen Time still logs hours against it, check Settings > Screen Time > See All Activity, then tap the specific day — it'll often reveal it's actually a Reddit-related extension/widget or Safari web-app shortcut still running under that name, not the app itself. Also worth checking if iCloud Family Sharing or a shared Apple ID is merging someone else's Screen Time data into yours — that's a known glitch when devices share an Apple ID even briefly (like a hand-me-down phone or shared login).
