How blocking works on iPhone
FocusDragon for iPhone and iPad is on the App Store. It blocks through Apple's Screen Time, inside iOS itself, plus a Safari content blocker. The first time you start a block, iOS asks you to allow FocusDragon to use Screen Time. Nothing can be blocked until you allow it.
If a block isn't applying
- Open FocusDragon and check the block is switched on in Blocks.
- Check Screen Time access: Settings → Screen Time → Apps With Screen Time Access → FocusDragon should be on. If you turned it off, turn it back on and start the block again.
- For Safari, check Settings → Apps → Safari → Extensions and make sure the FocusDragon content blocker is on.
- Update to the latest version from the App Store.
While a block is running, iOS won't let you delete apps, FocusDragon included. To stop Screen Time access being switched off in Settings, set a Screen Time passcode that someone else holds (Settings → Screen Time → Lock Screen Time Settings).
