you couldโ€™ve opened weibo on safari and that counts into the screen time, or a program is running weibo constantly

Thatโ€™s possible, just sus that it ran for 21+ hrsโ€ฆ and idk why it showed as Weibo instead of the browser it was opened on?

I donโ€™t use google and I know Reddit does but it doesnโ€™t run in the background skimming your phone like TikTok does

TikTok doesnโ€™t have rights to install other software. This is a dumb take
