AghoriSingh send this as feedback. And if u still play cod then we can play together. [Edit] This isn’t nothing’s fault as digital wellbeing is owned by Google

AghoriSingh hey mate. Screen time is tracked since the last 100% charge where as the digital wellbeing is tracking over a 24hr period hence the difference.

I observed one thing regarding screen time is different in nothing screen time widget and Digital Wellbeing. 10-12 min difference I observed.

Nothing screen time widget is slower than digital wellbeing around 10-12 min.

Hi Nothing team & community,

I’ve noticed a consistent mismatch between the Nothing Screen Time widget and Google Digital Wellbeing screen time data on my device.

As shown in the screenshots:

The Nothing widget shows 1h 36m

Google Digital Wellbeing shows 2h 32m for the same day

Initially, I assumed this was a temporary sync issue, but it has now been over 1 week, and the mismatch is still present.

What I’ve already tried:

Restarting the device multiple times

Waiting for daily reset / next-day refresh

Checking detailed app usage inside Digital Wellbeing

Despite this, the values still don’t align.

From my understanding, Google Digital Wellbeing should be the authoritative source for screen time data, since it tracks usage at the system level. This makes the Nothing widget appear inaccurate or delayed.

Request / Feedback:

Please confirm which data source the Nothing Screen Time widget uses

If it’s not directly synced with Digital Wellbeing, is there a plan to align it?

Or is this a known bug that will be fixed in a future update?

The widget UI is clean and very useful, but accuracy is critical for screen-time tracking.

Hope the team can look into this.

Thanks 🙌

I bought the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite about a month ago, and a few days ago I received the NOS 4.0 update. I’ve noticed something odd since then: the Screen Time widget shows 8 hours 37 minutes, but Digital Wellbeing only reports 5 hours 44 minutes. I’m not sure what each of them is counting, or why there’s such a big difference between the two.
