Multiple Devices in Screen Time?

[Elektrofone]

Has anyone else noticed multiple devices in their screen time settings? I only have the one phone but see two.

Yes same problem on my son's iPhone. I see that you found a couple of threads illustrating the same problem.

I am also having this problem. It is very frustrating, and I have no clue how to resolve it.

Issue is still present in today’s release.

 

[bizzy045]

Yes still present. What a f’ing joke. Serious bugs all over the place. No fix.

So, I just enabled Screen Time to see if there would be any change maybe server side. The old devices are still there, but my current device is now named correctly. Maybe they are on to something.

Came to post about having the same issue. Both my iPhone and iPad are showing up twice, with only the iPad showing the right name.

So you had disabled it before?

When I was having the bugs initially it annoyed me so I just disabled it. Every time a new beta comes out or when I get curious I’ll turn it on to check.

I have the same issue. I’ve got a support ticket open with Apple - That said it was 4 weeks ago and despite me contacting them they haven’t been arsed to get back in touch so I’ve just turned it off.

Hmmm... same problem on 12.1.

Has everybody still got the issue or have they seen this fix itself?

Question. If enabled screen time across devices would my MacBook be included in that or no? Only iOS devices?

 

[Pagemakers]

Only iOS

 

[leumacthanh]

me too,what an irritating bug

 

[chekz0414]

Hm I wonder why this hasn’t been patched yet.

Like most things Apple - I can’t take months, years or never!

 

[jessebkr87]

Just got this email from Apple.

 

[pinkoos]

Is that a beta build?

 

[jessebkr87]

Actually, it’s the beta build I already have and the problem is still there. What the heck?

Just installed iOS 12.1.1 and Screentime is even worse then ever.

Each device is listed twice and I still have a rogue “iPhone” that does not appear in my iCloud account.

On my iPad it shows:
Paul’s iPad
Paul’s iPad
Paul’s iPhone
iPhone

On my iPhone it shows:
Paul’s iPhone
Paul’s iPhone
Paul’s iPad
iPhone

I only have 2 devices for God’s sake Apple!

I give in.

 

[pinkoos]

I gave in long ago; it just doesn't seem that fixing this is a priority for Apple. Getting it out to market was, but fixing it, not so much.

 

[Pagemakers]

Not sure fixing anything is a priority for Apple nowadays.
