Go back to my question iPhone User profile for user: stoplight-glow stoplight-glow Author User level: Level 1 18 points Is there a way to delete one thing from screen time device usage history

Last night I fell asleep but accidentally left an app that doesn’t let the phone turn off on its own open. I woke up and saw my phone still on, and the app still running. I then exited the app and saw my screen time limits on my apps. I went and deleted the app and reinstalled it, and it fixed the limits but didn’t erase the time spent on the app from my phone. Is there a way to delete the time spent on just one app? This is on an iPhone 6s running iOS 13 if that helps anything.

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Hello, stoplight-glow.

I understand that you wish to reset your Screen Time data after an app was left on overnight. I would like to help. This can’t be done for a single app but if you navigate to Settings > Screen Time > Turn off Screen Time, turn off the feature and then reenable it, the entirety of your Screen Time data will be reset. I’m linking below an article that has some great information regarding Screen Time below. hope this helps.

Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Best Regards.
