Can I exclude certain apps from screen time reports?
Can I exclude certain apps from screen time reports?
Updated over a week ago

You may have certain apps you do not want to include in your screen time reporting or other areas of Roots. Here are the most common use cases:

Exclude apps from your Balance Score, total daily screen time, and app usage reports

Go to "Account" > "Whitelist Apps". Any apps added here will not be included in:

  • Balance Score

  • Total Screen Time

  • App Usage Reports

Exclude apps from app limits or downtime

  • Open your app limit or downtime

  • Go to "select apps"

  • Search for the apps you want to exclude, and uncheck them

Exclude apps from ever being blocked

If you have certain apps that you do not ever want to be blocked for any reason, you can add them as "always allow" in iOS settings:

  • From your phone (not Roots) go to "Settings" > "Screen Time"

  • Go to "Always Allow"

  • Add the apps you want to exclude from ever being blocked
