Issue with Screen Time After iOS 26 Update


Hello,

I am 16 years old and using Screen Time under my parents’ supervision. After updating to iOS 26, I started experiencing several issues.




First, my app usage time is being recorded as website links instead of the actual apps.


Second, even when I still have plenty of available Screen Time remaining, apps suddenly become blocked. Sometimes, when I open a specific app, other unrelated apps also get blocked.




If I turn my device off and on and unlock it repeatedly (around ten times), the apps eventually become accessible again, but this is extremely inconvenient—especially when I need to do something important or quickly.




Additionally, I would like to mention that currently, when I delete an app, the related Screen Time usage history is removed as well. I prefer this behavior to remain unchanged. While resolving the issues I reported above, please ensure that this specific behavior—deleting an app also deleting its usage history—does not change.




Please look into these issues and provide a fix.




Thank you.
