Screen Time Retro
This retro task requires you to screen record your iOS Screen Time activity for the last 4 weeks.
How to enable Screen Time
To perform your Screen Time video task, you need to have the Screen Time feature enabled on your iPhone. If you haven’t enabled this already, follow these steps:
1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Turn On Screen Time, then tap Continue.
3. Select This is My iPhone
If you already have your Screen Time activity turned on, you should be able to see a graph displaying your screen time activity.
⚠️ If you just enabled the Screen Time feature on your iPhone, you will need to wait a week before starting this task.
Instructions
It's a bit of extra work, but it should be easy once you get the hang of it. Remember: four weeks of screen time is needed but only three out of the four weeks will be collected by us.
Open your iPhone’s Settings and tap on Screen Time
Under the screen time chart tap on See All Activity.
At the top of the See All Activity screen, make sure Week is selected.
If you have more than one iOS device, tap Devices in the top-right corner and select the iPhone you are currently using.
Start the screen recording. (Not sure how to screen record on your iPhone? click here).
Scroll down through the page — each time you see the words Show More, tap on it until the full list is visible and you reach the very bottom of the page.
Once at the bottom of the page, tap on the left arrow to see last week.
Scroll to the top.
Scroll down just a little until you see the date bar across the top of the screen.
Tap the left arrow again and scroll to the bottom.
One last time, tap the left arrow again and scroll to the top.
Stop the recording and upload when you have recorded four weeks of screen time.
