screentime reports usage for multiple apps simultaneously

I’ve been having a strange issue for a while and it’s hard to explain without an example. Basically, when I’m using Instagram and then switch over to Safari, the time I spend back on Instagram gets recorded as time spent on Safari. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, does anyone know how to fix it?


TLDR: Screentime duplicates usage time.



iPhone 15, iOS 18
