Can You Delete Screen Time History? FAQ for Apple Screen Time

Cutting down time spent in front of your computer or phone is hard, which is why Apple created Screen Time. This helpful setting allows you to track both your and your family members’ Screen Time history and can put restrictions on certain apps and websites within your device. If you didn't set up Screen Time, you won't be able to disable it without the password, which is the only way you can delete your screen time history. This wikiHow will teach you how to disable Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac with a password.
