Why can I still access apps/websites that should be blocked?
If apps or websites that should be blocked are still accessible, here are a few steps to troubleshoot:
- Check Your Blocking Settings:
- Schedules: Make sure a schedule is active and correctly set to block the intended apps or websites.
- Quick Block: Confirm Quick Block is enabled if you’re relying on it to block everything temporarily.
- Check Permissions:
- Accessibility Permissions: For website blocking, AppBlock needs specific permissions.
- Check Troubleshooting: Go to the troubleshooting section in settings to make sure all required permissions are granted.
- Restart Your Phone: Restarting can often help if the blocks aren’t functioning as expected.
- Reinstall AppBlock: Reinstalling can refresh settings and resolve lingering issues. However, please note that unless you have created a backup beforehand in AppBlock > Profile > Backup, reinstalling the app will erase your current blocking settings.
If the issue continues, please reach out to our support team—we’re here to help!
