I'm looking for a way to hide my app usage from Screen Time on my iPhone. My mom can see all my app activity, including how much time I spent on Snapchat, and I'd like a way to keep that private without having to delete the app (which deletes important data) or constantly turn off Screen Time. Any ideas on how to manage this?

It might feel frustrating now, but parental controls are there for a reason. Just try using your phone responsibly; it could lead to more freedom in the long run.
If you’re just looking for a quick fix, there’s no way to deceive the system without facing consequences. Think about the trust factor; it might benefit you more to communicate openly instead.
I see your point, but being 17 makes it tricky sometimes! Just want a bit of space.
Honestly, there isn’t a straightforward way to hide your app usage without turning off Screen Time completely. Maybe try explaining your feelings to your mom? A mature conversation might help her understand your need for privacy.
I totally get wanting some privacy. But it might be worth discussing boundaries with her instead.
Easier said than done, right? Sometimes you need to prove you can handle it before they trust you.
