What does the uninstall prevention feature do?
On the BlockSite Android app, you can activate the Uninstall Prevention feature and disable the ability to uninstall the app through the home screen.
In order to activate the feature, follow these steps:

I followed the instructions in this article, but still the app can be unistalled even when the " prevent unistall feature is activated " .
Same here
I have this extension on my Windows 11, is there a prevent uninstall feature for windows and if so where to find it? This tutorial is for Android...
Non la trovo
I found a workaround. You can use the Android native app lock to protect BlockSite app and let someone else hold the privacy password which is required to uninstall any protected app.
There are some cons for this approach. The main one is that each time you need to change settings you have to ask him to unlock the app for you, so test your BlockSite settings enough before letting him supervise you. Secondly, it makes the focus mode almost unusable, which is not serious as I believe that most people use BlockSite for its regular schedules.
