My Location schedules do not work

If your location schedules aren’t activating when they should, try the steps below.

1. Check your permissions

Make sure you’ve granted all necessary permissions, including location permission for AppBlock, and that location services are turned on for your device.

2. Extend your location radius

If the radius is set too small, there can be a slight delay before blocking activates — or it may not trigger reliably at all. Try increasing the radius to fix the issue.

3. Refresh your blocking settings

If the above steps don’t help, refresh your blocking settings within the AppBlock app:

• Open AppBlock and navigate to the Blocking tab.
• Tap the refresh icon in the top-right corner (or pull down to refresh, depending on your app version).

Still not working?

If your location schedule still isn’t activating after trying these steps, contact our support team — it helps if you can share which Android device/brand you’re using, as some manufacturers restrict background location access more aggressively than others.
