On each of the 8 nights of daily data collection, we ask that you take a screenshot of your BATTERY usage screen from your phone’s Settings. You will then upload these screenshots via our secure online portal.
We need these screenshots because the iPhone operating system does not show us the apps you used in your phone measurement data via the RescueTime app. If you have any questions about this, please ask us!
These screenshots will NOT include any of your personal information or identity. Instead, the screenshots will show how many minutes you used various apps throughout the day
When you submit your screenshots to us they will only be connected to your ID number.
Here are example successful screenshots for ONE day. We also show you how to take these screenshots below.
