So Screen Time is showing me stats for an app I don’t even own?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Of particular interest to parents was the ability to impose restrictions on their children<\/a> – but it hasn’t taken long for kids to figure out how to bypass the limits …<\/p>

The first, and most obvious one, was for kids to change the time of the device to an earlier one – before the downtime kicks in.<\/p>

But a Reddit<\/em><\/a> thread spotted by Business Insider<\/em><\/a> reveals that this isn’t the only hack kids are employing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Apple recognizes which domains you have been browsing and shows apps associated with that domain instead of the actual domain in Screen Time, including apps you don’t even own.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Filed a radar and was told this is intended. Even for @github who’s URL is being used by someone ELSE’s app! Somehow that’s allowed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Update (2018-10-03): Eric Chen<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It’s not just domains that have apps associated with that domain, it tracks (some?) domains in general. My screen time has timings for “http:\/\/news.ycombinator.com” and more. Want to see something creepy? Go visit a certain hub of porn for a few minutes and check screen time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
