Why does the Digital Wellbeing app delete the data that is one week old?

[triaasteria42]

I recently discovered that the Digital Wellbeing app deletes the data that is one week old. Is there any setting that can be enabled so that the app keeps all the records and does not delete any? Also if it deletes the data that is one week old why does it allow us to go past one week and then it shows us that our screen time is zero minutes in that particular week? (check the screen recording below). I mean if it deletes the data then it should not even allow us to go past one week, right? But it does and it shows that our screen time is zero minutes. Why is that?

Well... In my device I see data of past 4 weeks ... After that it's not moving back

Do you know how to fix this issue of mine?

From when are you using Digital Wellbeing?

[triaasteria42]

I mean it is enabled by default, right? I do not remember actively enabling it. It was just there running in the background.

Ig not... It's another service... So ig you have to by some means manually start it up

How do I manually start it up?

[mHappiee]

It just need to be open once and after getting data usage permissions, it reads your behaviour automatically...

I have the the usage data access enabled for Digital Wellbeing.
