App Blocker FAQs
How to block a specific app?
Navigate to App Blocking in your parent dashboard, search for the app you want to block, and tap the lock icon to prevent access instantly.
How to block app categories?
Select the category you want to restrict (like Social Media or Gaming) and enable blocking to restrict all apps within that group simultaneously.
What is the Unwanted Apps list?
These apps may not be appropriate for your child’s age or maturity level. To help you make informed decisions, you can view age-appropriate app recommendations based on your child’s age and safety needs.
What are Always Allowed apps?
Always Allowed apps remain accessible even when other blocking rules, downtime schedules, or screen time limits are active. Add essential safety and educational apps here.
Why is app blocking not working?
Verify that “Display over other apps” permission is enabled, Accessibility settings are granted, and the app isn’t accidentally added to your Always Allowed list.
How is this different from Screen Time Limits?
Screen Time Limits allow apps but restrict usage duration. App Blocking completely prevents opening specific apps, providing stronger control for inappropriate applications.
Can I schedule when apps are blocked?
For scheduled restrictions, use Downtime (blocks all apps during specific hours) or App Limits (restricts usage time). App Blocking provides permanent restriction until you choose to unblock.
