iPadOS 27.2 Screen Time Bug – All Apps Show the Same Usage Charts

I’m experiencing a Screen Time bug on iPadOS 27.2.


All apps show almost identical usage charts, and the screen time reported for each app is close to the device’s total screen time, even though I haven’t used those apps for that long.


This makes the Screen Time statistics completely inaccurate.


Is anyone else experiencing this issue on iPadOS 27.2? Is there any known fix?

Try restarting the iPad first. If it persists, Settings > Screen Time, turn off Share Across Devices, then restart and turn it back on. Also update to the newest iPadOS point release if one is available, since this looks like a software bug.

I’m not experiencing anything like that. Have you tried restarting your iPad?


How does it compare to usage shown in Settings/Battery?
