Devices included in Device Usage
Device Usage only counts everyday devices like phones, tablets, laptops and games consoles.
It only counts the time the device accesses the internet, for example when you go to use an app or streaming service.
So, it won’t count the general connection of a device to the WiFi.
Your smart home gadgets, like lightbulbs, kitchen gadgets and doorbells, won’t be included.
Your privacy
You must let someone know if you are monitoring their device and the time they spend online.
