My Accessibility keeps turning off. What can I do?
On some Android devices — especially from manufacturers like Xiaomi, Huawei, and Oppo — the system automatically turns off Accessibility services to save battery or improve performance. This is one of the most common reasons AppBlock stops working.
Why this happens
Android gives manufacturers a lot of control over how background services behave. Some devices are aggressive about killing Accessibility services, especially after a restart or when battery saver kicks in.
What to do
- Open AppBlock and go to Profile → Help → Troubleshooting.
- Follow the steps to re-enable Accessibility for AppBlock.
After re-enabling, also check these settings on your device:
- Go to Settings → Apps → AppBlock and make sure it’s not restricted in the background.
- Disable battery optimization for AppBlock (Settings → Battery → Battery optimization → AppBlock → Don’t optimize).
- Enable Autostart for AppBlock if your device has this option (common on Xiaomi, Huawei, and Oppo).
- Lock AppBlock in your recent apps so the system doesn’t kill it.
