I've not run into the new monthly screen recording prompt yet but I can imagine that when I do it might get annoying. I appreciate Apple being super cautious with security and stuff like this, most of the time, but this feels a bit too much.

It's good to know there is a way to work around it, if you're happy to go "under the hood".

Having finally switched to using pure-Apple-ecosystem for sleep tracking, I was curious why I wasn't getting any sort of "time in bed" value recorded (as opposed to time asleep). The previous (iOS-based) tracking app did it just fine.

Turns out it used to be an option that was set on the phone, and iOS 18 seems to have taken it away, but still reports it (as nothing recorded).

Weird.
