All my blocks disappeared, or Slow Time Club is asking for Screen Time again

Slow Time Club has lost its Screen Time access. Reconnect it and your saved blocks come back.

Your blocks are still saved. Slow Time Club has lost its Screen Time access, which sometimes happens after an iOS update or a change to your Apple Account. Reconnect it, open Slow Time Club, and your Quick Block, Focus Sessions and App Limits come back.

Reconnect Screen Time

  1. Open Slow Time Club. If it asks you to connect Screen Time, tap Continue and allow access when iPhone asks. You may need Face ID or your passcode.

  2. Or check the switch yourself: Settings → Screen Time → Apps With Screen Time Access → Slow Time Club should be on. Then open Slow Time Club.

  3. Make sure Screen Time itself is on: Settings → Screen Time. If you see Turn On App & Website Activity, tap it.

  4. Wait a few seconds on Home. Slow Time Club puts back everything that should be active now:

    • a Quick Block that still has time left,

    • any Focus Session that's in its scheduled time,

    • your App Limits. An app that already used up today's time locks again.

  5. If any apps show blank icons afterwards, pick them again. See App names or icons are blank.

Not asked to reconnect? Check your plan in Profile. If the free week ends without a subscription, blocks pause until you subscribe, and nothing is deleted. See What happens when my free week ends?

If you're on an older version of Slow Time Club, update it from the App Store first. Older versions don't always bring every block back after you reconnect.

For anything else, try Blocking isn't working: start here.

Why this happens

Blocking only works while Slow Time Club has Screen Time access. iPhone can switch that access off, for example after an iOS update, a restore, or signing out of your Apple Account. When it does, the blocks stop and iPhone doesn't tell us. We notice the next time you open Slow Time Club and ask you to reconnect. Sorry for the surprise.
