If I allow 4 hours for “social” does it allow 4 hours per app or total?

Setting screen time limits for “social” apps. If I choose apps in this category and set a time to say 4 hours, does it allow 4 hours PER APP chosen, or a total of 4 hours for the “social” category?

It's per category, not per app.


"You can set daily limits for app categories with App Limits. For example, you might want to see productivity apps while you're at work, but not social networking or games. App Limits refresh every day at midnight, and you can delete them any time." taken from Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
