Apps stay blocked even after schedules end or pause is active

If apps are still blocked after your schedule has ended or you’ve activated a pause, here’s what’s going on and how to fix it.

Why this happens

In some cases, a bug may prevent AppBlock from resuming normal activity after blocking has been paused or a schedule has ended. Our development team is aware of and actively investigating this issue.

Temporary fix

Restart your device. Restarting refreshes AppBlock’s system permissions and should unblock your apps.

Good to know

If this happens repeatedly, contact our support team and let us know — the more detail you can share (device model, Android version, and which schedule was involved), the faster we can investigate.
