FAQ
Phone Security questions.
Straight answers about protection, permissions, plans and release status.
Does Phone Security work without an internet connection?
Core protection rules operate on the device without a Phone Security account or cloud. The Free plan needs network access when Google-provided ads or consent choices are loaded.
Is a Phone Security account required?
No. Phone Security has no account system or Phone Security backend.
Does the app read screen content or messages?
No. Accessibility Service detects the foreground app package and triggers blocking or Focus Lock; it does not read screen text, messages, passwords, or keystrokes.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free includes Always Block for up to two apps, Focus Lock, and Google-provided banner ads. Pro adds unlimited Always Block, schedules, daily limits, and an ad-free experience.
What is Focus Lock?
Focus Lock helps you remain in one selected app. After a Home attempt, Phone Security returns to that app, or you can exit with the PIN.
Can a blocking schedule cross midnight?
Yes. Scheduled Blocking supports schedules that cross midnight.
When does a daily limit reset?
A daily limit resets at the start of the next local day on the device.
Can the app be uninstalled or permissions be disabled?
Yes. Phone Security is a normal Android app. The user can revoke permissions in Android settings or uninstall it; doing so can stop protection.
Who supplies the ads?
On the Free plan, banner ads are supplied through Google Mobile Ads. Google UMP may manage advertising privacy choices.
When will Phone Security be released on Google Play?
Phone Security is being prepared for Google Play. No exact public release date has been announced.
