How do I fix incorrect Screen Time on iPhone after iOS 18 update?

As soon as I updated to iOS 18, my screen time notifications and limits started going crazy. When I checked in to the settings, it showed that my screen time was 13 hours (this would not have been possible as I was not on my phone for more than 1 hour that day). I scrolled back a few days and my screen time had also skyrocketed - anywhere from 10 hours a day to 21 hours a day. My screen time is usually no more than 3 1/2 hours a day, so this is weird.


This morning, I checked my screen time and it said I had 7 hours of screen time, even though my phone was powered off through the whole night.


(EDIT: I just want to add the things I’ve already tried to do)

  • Turn off and on the screen time settings
  • Power phone off and on
  • Force reset phone


How do I fix this?
