A Fella routine locks Facebook at the same time every night and holds until morning, so the decision to stop happens once, when you set it up, instead of every night in bed.

Groups, Marketplace, and the feed all sit under one icon, so a late-night check for one thing tends to open the door to everything else. If Facebook is the one app doing that and the rest of your phone isn't the problem, a routine scoped to just Facebook is simpler than blocking everything.
Select Facebook on its own and set the start time to whenever you actually want to be off it, and the end time to whenever you get up. The routine begins the session on its own, so there is nothing to open once you're already in bed.
Everything else on your phone stays untouched, including messaging, your alarm, and anything else you might reach for at night.
Leave Phone, Messages, and your alarm off the blocked list entirely, so those keep working exactly as normal. For the one time something on Facebook genuinely can't wait, each session includes a single 5-minute emergency unlock, then Facebook locks again automatically.
If other apps are part of the same bedtime pattern, not just Facebook, see our broader block apps while sleeping page, or stop scrolling at night for the behavior side of why this happens. For blocking Facebook beyond bedtime too, see how to block Facebook on iPhone.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.
Yes. A routine starts a blocking session on the days and times you choose, so a nightly Facebook block begins on its own once set up, rather than needing to be turned on each evening.
No. A nightly Facebook block uses the same routine and session mechanism as any other Fella block, just scoped to one app and applied to bedtime hours.
No, as long as you do not add those apps to the block. Fella blocks only the apps you select, so leaving Clock, Phone, and Messages unselected keeps alarms and calls working normally.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it if something genuinely needs attention, and Facebook locks again automatically once the five minutes end.
If Facebook specifically is what keeps you up and the rest of your phone is fine, blocking just that app keeps the setup simple and leaves everything else exactly as useful as it was.
