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:
1) Exclude apps from your "Balance Score", total daily "Screen Time", "Dopamine Hits", and app usage reports.
Go to "Account > Excluded Apps". Any apps added here will not be included in:
Balance Score
Total Screen Time
App Usage Reports
2) 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
3) Exclude apps from "App Limits" or "Downtime"
Open your "App Limits" or "Downtime"
Go to "Select Apps"
Search for the apps you want to exclude, and uncheck them
