    Hi ,

    I'm looking to curb social media addiction by getting my partner to put passwords on certain apps.

    Norton app locker seemed like what I needed but is unfortunately discontinued.

    Any recommendations for a trustworthy app locker or any other kind of app that might help me achieve what I'm after ?

    I tried getting parental controls put on but could still access Google and get into sites that way.

    Thanks all

    To beat social media addiction on Android, you can use App Lockers like AppBlock or Stay Focused. These apps allow you to block access to specific social media apps during set hours, helping to reduce usage. You can set daily limits or lock apps entirely. For more advanced control, try Focus Mode in Android settings. If you're interested in social media app development, these tools can be used as a reference for incorporating focus features.

    Delete your social media accounts. That's one sure way of cutting the tie and a good starting point.
