I uninstalled Jomo but apps and websites are still blocked

We’re sincerely sorry if your apps remain blocked even after deleting all your rules and removing the Jomo app. We understand your frustration and share it. This is caused by a very rare Apple Screen Time bug. Even though everything has been removed, Apple’s system continues to “think” that the content is blocked. That’s why we strongly recommend reading this article carefully before uninstalling Jomo.

🚨 Please note that this bug is common to all screen time apps. Yes, all of them.

Check That Another Screen Time App Isn’t Blocking the Apps

To confirm this is a bug, you need to see this screen on the apps that remain blocked.

As a reminder: Jomo screens show the app icon and mention the blocking rule. If that’s not the case, please check that no other screen time app is installed. If one is, please contact their own customer support for assistance.

Reinstall Jomo and Block the Apps Again

1. Reinstall Jomo.
2. Complete the onboarding flow.
3. Make sure to allow the Screen Time permission.
4. Go to Rules, then tap Start blocking, then Block now.
5. Start a blocking rule with the apps that are still blocked.
6. Delete the blocking rule.

Temporarily Add the Apps to Always Allowed

1. Open the iPhone Settings app.
2. Go to Screen Time, then Always Allowed.
3. In the list, add the apps that are still blocked.
4. Fully close Settings.
5. Reopen Settings.
6. Go back to Screen Time, then Always Allowed.
7. Remove the apps from the list.
8. Fully close Settings again.

You can repeat this several times if needed.

Contact Apple Support

If the apps are truly still blocked, we recommend contacting Apple Support and reporting a Screen Time issue.
