Frequently asked question:

How do I remove an app from the shield?

• Tap Add Shield (yes, it’s the same place you go to add apps!).

• Uncheck the app you want to remove.

• Removing the shield won’t instantly unlock the app. We ask you to do one last challenge to reinforce your habit-building goals.

• Removing a single app will cause all other apps you previously added to become shielded again. Don’t worry—this is intentional. It helps keep distractions at bay.#

  
  

Why don’t apps unlock automatically after 2 hours?

• Make sure our app is still in the background—don’t swipe it away or force quit it. If the app isn’t active, Apple’s system might not send the unlock at the 2-hour mark.

• Occasionally, iOS can delay the unlock beyond the exact 2-hour window. This is just how Apple manages background activities.

  
  

3. Best Practices for a Smooth Experience

• Keep your phone on the latest iOS version and ensure React Now itself is up to date.

• A quick glance helps ensure everything is working as expected.

  
  

4. Why aren’t my newly added apps being shielded?

• We recommend adding one app at a time rather than selecting multiple apps (or entire categories) at once.

• Rapid toggling can confuse Apple’s Screen Time API—so take your time to add each app and wait a moment to let React Now do its magic.
