Hi can anyone share how screentime actually calculates the time per app? is it just whether the app is open? and what if a hyperlink is clicked from say Instagram that takes the user to somewhere else.
iPhone SE
It shows the time that the screen is on and a certain app is opened. If you are using Safari instead of another browser like Chrome, then it also shows time spent on specific websites. Again, the amount of time that the website is on the screen. If you are using Chrome or another web browser, it just shows that time as Chrome (or the other browser) instead of saying how much time was spent on specific websites.

How does screen time work when it calculates the time on a given app?
