For a lot of people, WhatsApp during a study session isn't one important message, it's a class group chat that could wait until the session ends. Be honest with yourself before setting this up: WhatsApp is often how people actually reach you, not just a feed. If that's the case here, this is still worth doing carefully rather than on reflex.
This fits people whose WhatsApp use while studying is mostly group-chat drift, not urgency. It does not fit someone who genuinely relies on WhatsApp as their main line for anything time-sensitive during that window; blocking it there means missing those messages until the session ends or you use the emergency unlock.
Selection in Fella is per app. Choose WhatsApp on its own and leave other 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.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock, enough to check and reply to something that actually can't wait. When the five minutes end, WhatsApp locks again automatically for the rest of the session.
If social media, games, or general phone use is also part of the problem, not just WhatsApp, see our broader block apps while studying guide. For blocking WhatsApp beyond study time as well, see how to block WhatsApp on iPhone.
Everything you need to stay focused, right from Home.

Yes. Selection in Fella is per app, so a study session can block WhatsApp specifically while leaving other messaging, notes, and any study apps untouched.
Both. Start a manual session before you sit down to study, or build a routine for the days and hours you study regularly, and it starts the block on its own.
No. This uses the same session and routine mechanism as any other Fella block, just scoped to WhatsApp and applied during study time.
Each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock. Use it to check and reply, and WhatsApp locks again automatically once the five minutes end.
