Facebook stays closed.
Everything else stays open.

Select Facebook, start a session or set a routine for when you study, and only Facebook locks. Notes, messaging, and study apps keep working normally.

One app bundles a lot in: Marketplace, groups, events, the main feed. Opening it for one reason tends to end somewhere else entirely. If Facebook specifically is the app that turns a planned hour of studying into a scroll through groups and posts, and the rest of your phone is fine, blocking everything is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just Facebook and leave the rest of your phone alone.

Select Facebook, leave the rest

Selection in Fella is per app. Choose Facebook on its own and leave messaging, notes, and any study apps you rely on completely untouched.

Start a manual session for one sitting, or build a routine for the days and hours you study regularly so the block starts itself without a decision each time.

Why Facebook is easy to underestimate while studying

It's rarely one clear reason to open it. A notification about a group, an event invite, or a Marketplace message all lead into the same app, and once you're in, the feed is right there. Blocking it removes every one of those entry points at once during a study session.

One way through, if something real comes up

Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, for the rare case a study group or class page genuinely needs checking mid-session. When the five minutes end, Facebook locks again automatically for the rest of the session.

If it's more than just Facebook

If social media in general, or games, are also part of the problem, not just Facebook, see our broader block apps while studying guide. For blocking Facebook beyond study time as well, see how to block Facebook on iPhone.
