# App blocking for Android  Phones and Tablets

Follow these steps on your kid's Android device to enable "App Blocking":

1. Open the ScreenCoach app on your kid's Android device.

2. Click on the profile icon on the kid's dashboard.

3. Click on the settings cog icon in the top right-hand corner.

4. You'll be asked to enter the ScreenCoach parent PIN (if set). Enter it.

It is recommended to set a ScreenCoach parent PIN to avoid kids from playing with the permissions.

[You can learn more about how to create one by clicking here. ](/en/article/set-a-user-pin-important-for-parents-1fsptcs/)Set it up after fixing this permission.

5. You'll be taken to the "App Settings" screen. Click on "FIX IT" against "every permission under "Allow App Blocking"; there might be a green tick rather than FIX IT, which means the permission is already given. With that, grant permission for everything.

If you still cannot turn it on, try this:

* Go to the device's settings app.  
* Go to installed apps and search for ScreenCoach.  
* Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner and select "Allow restricted settings."  
* And retry the same steps: [Click here.](https://support.myscreencoach.com/support/solutions/articles/51000423591-how-to-prevent-kids-from-deleting-screencoach-on-mobile-)

Once these features are enabled, it will restrict your kids from accessing other applications once they run out of allocated time in ScreenCoach.
