iPhone users are facing issue in iPhone screen time showing old device name in
the list and user is no more using the devices and unable to remove old devices

iOS 13 : remove old device from screen time |
The issue
still persists with latest iOS 12.1 release and old devices are still there
with no way to remove them in iOS 12.1. This is not only the problem but the
screen time is also resetting the data in few days repeatedly. The issue is
more frequent for the users who have turned on family sharing in their iphone.
It looks like a ghost device in screen time on the iPhone. Some users tried to
replace the iPhone with a new one but the issue still persists and Screen Time
keeps on showing old iPhone name the list device.
The old
iPhone details are omitted from every other place in iPhone but it just Screen
Time is the only place where the old device shows up.
How to fix iPhone screen Time showing old iPhone details:
Many
iPhone users tried to reach out Apple Support to fix the issue but it seems
that Apple is aware of the issue and is working on a fix for it. Till that time
there are no genuine fix for the issue and you will have to wait for iOS 12.2
which does not guarantee for the fix. But right only option is to upgrade the
iPhone to latest iOS 12 versions and check for bug fix.
