Snapchat closes for
Streaks add a pull that most apps don't have, and exam week is exactly the stretch where "just send one snap back" costs the most. If it's Snapchat, not the whole phone, that pulls you away during revision, blocking everything is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just Snapchat and set the days, nothing else changes.
Select Snapchat, set exam week, done
Selection in Fella is per app. Choose Snapchat on its own and leave messaging, notes, and study apps untouched.
Build a routine for the days school runs exams, and it starts the block itself every one of those days, so there is nothing to remember at 8am with a paper at 10.
What happens to streaks during exam week
Streaks live on Snapchat's own servers, not inside Fella. If a streak genuinely needs a snap sent before it lapses, the emergency unlock covers that one exception without ending the whole day's block.
Still reachable, still bounded
Exam week is exactly when a blocker with no way through would be a problem. Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, then Snapchat locks again automatically for the rest of the day.
If it's more than just Snapchat
If other social apps, or games, are also part of exam-week distraction, see our broader block social media during exams page, or block apps during exams for every category together. For blocking Snapchat outside exam season too, see how to block Snapchat on iPhone.
Fella, up close.
- Built with Apple’s Screen Time controls.
- One 5-minute emergency unlock per session.
- Apps stay blocked by default.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.
Blocking Snapchat during exams: FAQ
Yes. Selection in Fella is per app, so a routine can block Snapchat for the days of exam week while leaving messaging, notes, and any study apps untouched.
Streaks are tracked on Snapchat's own servers, not by Fella. If a streak genuinely needs a snap sent before it lapses, use the emergency unlock rather than skipping the block.
Yes, with a routine. Set it to the days and hours you're revising or sitting exams, and it starts the block itself each of those days without needing to be turned on.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it if something genuinely needs checking, and Snapchat locks again automatically once the five minutes end.
If Snapchat specifically is what pulls you away and other apps aren't the problem, blocking just that one keeps the setup simple and leaves everything else exactly as useful as it was.
