[NJTechDiv] Screen Time way off

Like Bea, I close apps when I'm done using them, just like on my PC.
The problem with Screen Time, I think, was that I was interpreting it wrong.
What looked like a day total to me was really a grand total for the week, so
of course it looked huge.  But divided by 7 it was fine.
Thanks, though.
Tracy

I would guess some app is running in the background, and somehow the 
phone thinks you are using it.  I would close all apps, a couple 
times a week at lease, swipe up two clicks to bring up task list, 
then you can close individual apps.
