Is your app usage showing up wrong?

Updated over a week ago

We are sorry for any inconvenience!
​
Please check the following:

1) Is "share across devices" turned off on ALL iOS devices?

  • Due to limitations with Apple Screen Time this is required for using Roots

  • Open your iOS Settings > Screen Time

  • Be sure "share across devices" is turned off

  • In some cases, we have seen this needs to be turned off on all devices

  • Learn more here

2) Is Apple mis-reporting your screen time?

  • Go to iOS settings > Screen Time

  • Check to see if Apple is mis-reporting usage

  • Unfortunately in some cases Apple over-reports screen time and that will make your Roots screen time numbers inaccurate as well

  • We are about to release a potential workaround for this where you can exclude certain apps on certain days
    ​

3) Is Apple showing "AuthKitUIService" or other odd usage?

  • Due to limitations with Apple Screen Time, sometimes Apple will report usage that does not make sense or match your actual usage

  • This may show up as "AuthKitUIService" or "User Authentication"

  • We are currently investigating ways to workaround the bug and remove this, but usually it only happens for a day or two when you start using the app and then it resolves itself
