I've blocked all apps except a few, but these few aren't properly allowed

If one of your rules is set to Whitelist mode (blocks everything except a few apps) and your apps are still getting blocked, you might be dealing with a conflict between different screen time apps. Since iOS 17.4, a bug has caused compatibility issues between screen time apps, especially when a blocking rule uses the Whitelist mode.

How can you fix it?

Two ways to fix this

Switch to Blocklist mode in Jomo instead of using Whitelist.
Remove any other screen time apps installed on your device.

Keep in mind that this issue goes both ways—Jomo can also interfere with other screen time apps.
