Snapchat closed for the day.
Everything else, business as usual.

Snapchat pulls at attention differently from most apps: a streak feels time-sensitive in a way a regular message never does. If Slack, email, and your other tools are fine and it's specifically Snapchat pulling you away between tasks, blocking your whole phone is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just Snapchat and set the hours, nothing else changes.

Select the one app, not the whole phone

Selection in Fella is per app. Choose Snapchat on its own and leave everything else, including messaging apps you rely on for work, completely untouched.

Set a routine for your working hours and it runs on its own. Weekdays nine to five, or whatever your actual schedule is, starts and ends the block automatically without a manual toggle each morning.

What happens to streaks during a work block

Streaks live on Snapchat's own servers, not inside Fella. Blocking the app during work hours doesn't reset anything on its own. If a streak genuinely needs a snap sent before it lapses mid-workday, the emergency unlock covers that one exception without ending the whole session.

Still reachable for anything real

A work-hours block should never cut off something genuinely necessary. Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, enough to send a message or keep a streak alive, and Snapchat locks again automatically once the five minutes end.

If it's more than just Snapchat

If other apps are part of the same problem, not just Snapchat, see our broader block social media during work hours page, or block apps during work for every category of distraction together. For blocking Snapchat outside work hours too, see how to block Snapchat on iPhone.
