My apps are still blocked even though my schedules are inactive
If your schedules have ended (or you’ve paused blocking) but some apps stay blocked, here’s how to get things back to normal.
First, refresh your blocking
- Open AppBlock.
- Go to the Blocking tab.
- Tap the refresh icon in the top-right corner (or pull down to refresh on older versions).
You’ll see a “Blocking refreshed” confirmation when it’s done.
If apps are still stuck, restart your iPhone
Sometimes a bug prevents AppBlock from fully resuming normal activity after a pause ends or a schedule finishes. If a refresh doesn’t release the blocks, restart your device — this refreshes AppBlock’s system permissions and usually clears the issue right away.
Our team is aware of this behavior and working on a permanent fix. If restarting doesn’t help, reach out to support and we’ll investigate with you.
