Is my Android data usage by app stored somewhere online by default? I thought the stats are only kept locally at the OS level, and are not connected to my Google Account.
In any case, "Digital well-being" seems to be about tracking screen time, not data usage. And as far as I understand, it sends that data back to Google.

- krn 8y agoThis is a normal functionality of every app store: keeping track of what and when was installed. But as far as I am aware, Google Play doesn't collect data about the actual usage of each app in terms of screen time. That's where "Digital well-being" fills the gap for Google.
