Snapchat stays closed.
Everything else stays open.

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

A single snap rarely stays a single snap, and streaks add a reason to check that has nothing to do with what's actually in the message. If Snapchat specifically is the app that turns a planned hour of studying into a back-and-forth with three different chats, and the rest of your phone is fine, blocking everything is more than the problem calls for. Fella lets you select just Snapchat and leave the rest of your phone alone.

Select Snapchat, leave the rest

Selection in Fella is per app. Choose Snapchat 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 Snapchat is a specific kind of study distraction

Streaks add a pull that most apps don't have. A message can wait; a streak feels like it can't, which makes "just send one snap back" an easy exception to justify mid-session. Blocking the app removes that exception rather than relying on ignoring the notification.

One way through, if something real comes up

Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, for the rare case a reply or a streak genuinely can't wait. When the five minutes end, Snapchat locks again automatically for the rest of the session.

If it's more than just Snapchat

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