My screen time is showing for my Apple Watch not my iPhone

How do I change what is displaying for my screen time? It was oddly showing my husband’s which isn’t even attached w my Apple ID, then I got it to not be there but now shows my Apple Watch, not my iPhone. It’s frustrating. Is this a glitch? I have iPhone 12 Pro Max, updated iOS to the new iOS. I have seen pics where “devices” shows up in the right hand corner like you can switch between devices. I don’t have that. Is that a glitch, too?

Hello Jlangstons,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may have the feature called, "Share Across Devices" turned on in Settings > Screen Time. This will display your activity for Screen Time on any Apple Devices that you are signed in with your Apple ID account.

To review the activity for only one device, you can go to Settings > Screen Time > See All Activity > Tap on "Devices" in the upper right corner > Select your iPhone.

Best regards.

Unfortunately as I said above, mine doesn’t have the option. It is set to on with sharing across devices, but when choosing “see all activity” I have nothing in the right hand corner. Not prior to clicking, or after. Not if I choose day vs week. It just isn’t there.🤷🏼‍♀️ There has to be another way.

Hi Jlangstons,

Have you recently reset or restored your iPhone? The reason we're asking because it appears to show as if the device was recently erased and once it has been used it will show more info on the Screen Time page.

Best regards
