How to check Screen Time on iPhone

Where is the Screen Time report?

Open Settings, tap Screen Time, then tap See All App & Website Activity for the breakdown by app and category. Use the Week and Day controls to switch between summaries. This is the path in Apple's current iPhone guide, retrieved 21 August 2026.

What is the difference between Week and Day?

Apple's current guide describes separate Day and Week summaries and lets you move through earlier periods. It does not define every number shown in the Week interface as a universal total or average. Read the label beside the figure on your device and note which view is selected before comparing periods.

What do Pickups and Notifications actually count?

Apple says the activity summary shows how often you pick up your device and which apps send the most notifications. Its current guide does not define every event included in those counters. Use them as labeled signals in the report, not as a precise measure of every unlock, glance, or interruption.

Why doesn't the number match how the week felt?

First check whether Share Across Devices is on. Apple says that setting shares Screen Time settings and reports across devices signed into the same Apple Account, so the summary can include more than one device. Then open the app and category breakdown instead of comparing the headline figure with memory alone.

What does the number not tell you?

The report shows time by app and category, pickups, notifications, and the selected period. It cannot tell you why you opened an app or whether that use matched what you intended. Treat the numbers as a record of device activity, not an explanation of the reason behind it.

MoveFirst's own weekly view is built around that limit rather than against it: it records only whether you moved that day, never how long you spent anywhere else. Apple draws this figure. MoveFirst doesn't receive it.
