Blocks not working?
Please note that iOS app blocking works by preventing apps from loading new content, so you'll still be able to open the app and see older, cached content. If blocks don't seem to be working:
- Make sure you have installed the necessary app blockers after logging into Freedom. Instructions for this can be found here: Installing Freedom on your iPhone or iPad
- Make sure Freedom is open on your device. Check out our document here for more info: Keeping the Freedom App Open on iOS
- If most blocks are working, but you're still having trouble with a few apps (especially Facebook and Instagram), please see: How to block Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp on iOS
Not receiving notifications of sessions beginning or ending?
- You might need to enable Background App Refresh. Check out our document here for more info: iOS Background App Refresh
Sessions aren't syncing?
- Running on Low Power Mode can prevent blocks from beginning or ending correctly. Check here for a fix: iOS Low Power Mode
