Uber Eats and Uber share an account but sit in separate apps, which is what makes this one straightforward to get right. Fella blocks the Uber Eats app by default, leaves your rides alone, and gives you one 5-minute emergency unlock per session.
Most people who want Uber Eats gone still want Uber. That makes this different from blocking a feed app, where the whole thing can go. Here the goal is a clean split between two products that share one login, and the good news is that they are separate apps on your iPhone, so the split is possible.
This page covers how to make that split hold, and where it leaks. For the category as a whole, including DoorDash and grocery delivery, see blocking food delivery apps on iPhone.
Select Uber Eats and leave Uber unselected. Fella blocks per app, so the rides app opens normally while the food app does not. Nothing about the shared account changes, and you are not signed out of either.
Check the rides app before you trust the split. Uber's own app can place food orders in some regions, and where it does, blocking Uber Eats alone leaves the path open. Open Uber, look for a food or delivery section, and if it is there, decide whether Uber needs blocking at the times that matter too.
A Screen Time category limit cannot make this distinction well. Food & Drink catches restaurant delivery and grocery apps together, and Uber sits in a different category entirely. Selecting apps individually is the only way to draw the line where you actually want it.
Opening the app is rarely where the decision starts. A promo notification, a home screen icon glanced at while doing something else, a widget, or a Spotlight search result can all begin the session before you have consciously chosen to order.
Notifications are a separate switch. Blocking the app does not silence them. Turn them off in Settings > Notifications > Uber Eats, or a discount push will keep reopening a question you had already settled.
Deleting the app closes none of this durably. Your address, card and order history live on the account, so a reinstall restores everything in about a minute. If you want that route shut as well, see blocking app downloads.
Apple's Screen Time can limit Uber Eats for free, and it is the right first try. Settings > Screen Time > App Limits, add a limit, turn on Block at End of Limit. Full steps are on setting App Limits. The catch is the Ignore Limit button, which ends the limit in one tap at precisely the moment you want the app. We cover why that keeps happening on ignoring Screen Time limits.
Fella runs on the same Apple frameworks and removes that tap. Uber Eats stays blocked for the whole session rather than until you dismiss a screen, and each session includes one 5-minute emergency unlock for something genuine, like checking a delivery that is already coming.
If the pattern is time-based, let a routine handle it. A session can start automatically on the evenings or days you choose, so the block is running before the decision arrives. See app blocking with schedules, or how Fella works.
It does not touch your account or your money. Nothing is closed, deactivated or logged out, no payment is taken or refunded, and saved cards, addresses and any Uber One subscription stay exactly as they were.
It does not affect orders in progress. A delivery on its way arrives normally and tracking continues on Uber's side.
It does not block Uber rides unless you select that app too. The two are independent choices in Fella.
It does not cover the website. Fella blocks apps, not browsers. To close ubereats.com as well, add it to Never Allow using Screen Time Web Content restrictions.
You can use Apple's Screen Time app limits, or use Fella to keep the Uber Eats app blocked by default with one 5-minute emergency unlock per session.
Yes. Uber Eats and Uber are separate apps on your iPhone, so Fella can block one and leave the other available. Check whether your Uber app can also place food orders in your region, because if it can, blocking Uber Eats alone still leaves a way to order.
No. Fella blocks the Uber Eats app on your iPhone. It does not close your account, cancel an order, charge or refund anything, remove a saved card or address, or change an Uber One subscription.
The limit screen carries an Ignore Limit button that clears it in one tap, and it appears at the exact moment you have decided you want the app. A limit you can dismiss yourself is a prompt rather than a boundary.
No. A delivery already on its way arrives normally, and tracking continues on Uber's side. Blocking governs whether the app opens on your iPhone, nothing beyond that.
No. Fella blocks iPhone apps, not websites. For the browser side, use Apple's Screen Time Web Content restrictions to add the site to Never Allow.
Not on its own. Turn notifications off separately in Settings > Notifications > Uber Eats, otherwise a promo push can still reach you and restart the decision.
Yes. A Fella routine can start a blocking session automatically on the days and times you choose, so the block is already running before you reach for the app.
