Approval Contact unlock is not working
The Approval Contact unlock method is powerful, but it relies on a few things working together. If something’s gone wrong, here’s how to track it down.
Common reasons the approval isn’t working
- Your contact hasn’t responded yet. They need to actively approve or decline your request. Send them a reminder.
- The approval email or notification went to spam. Ask your Approval Contact to check their spam or promotions folder.
- Internet connection issue. Both you and your Approval Contact need an active internet connection.
- The Approval Contact email is wrong. Double-check the email address saved in your Strict Mode setup.
What to try
- Wait a few minutes. Approval requests sometimes take a moment to deliver.
- Check with your Approval Contact directly — by phone, text, or in person — to confirm they received and approved the request.
If it still doesn’t work
Use the Emergency Unblocking flow:
- Open AppBlock and go to Contact support.
- Select Emergency unblocking.
We’ll help you get back in.
