I cannot uninstall AppBlock
If you’re trying to uninstall AppBlock but can’t, it’s most likely because Strict Mode is active with the “Disable app uninstalling” option turned on. This is by design — it keeps your blocks working.
How to uninstall AppBlock
You’ll need to deactivate Strict Mode first.
- Open AppBlock and go to Strict Mode.
- Fulfill the unlock condition you set (PIN, Charger, Timer, Cooldown, Follow schedules, or Approval Contact).
- Once Strict Mode is off, you can uninstall AppBlock normally — long-press the icon and tap Remove App → Delete App.
If you can’t deactivate Strict Mode
If you don’t have access to your unlock method, use the Emergency Unblocking flow:
- Open AppBlock and go to Contact support.
- Select Emergency unblocking.
- Follow the steps to deactivate Strict Mode.
Once Strict Mode is off, you can uninstall AppBlock the normal way.
