How does WalkBlock detect that a child is walking or moving without using continuous GPS, and how much battery does it use?
1. Andrejs SnorinsMakerAugust 18, 2026
  WalkBlock does not request location permission or continuously track the phone with GPS. It uses Android’s low-power Activity Recognition system together with the phone’s built-in step counter and step detector to identify walking, being still, cycling, or travelling in a vehicle. A short accelerometer check is used only when necessary to confirm that movement has stopped. Because detection is mostly event-based and uses hardware motion sensors, battery usage should remain low. However, the exact percentage varies by phone model, Android version, screen time, and usage, so I don’t want to claim a fixed number without controlled testing.

  WalkBlock’s core safety features are free. This includes walking and vehicle detection, blocking distracting apps while moving, Parent PIN protection, customizable protection settings, and choosing which essential apps remain accessible. Free users can also view their three most recent blocking events. Premium unlocks schedules, temporary snoozing, blacklist mode, category-based Smart Filters, Battery Shield, and the full activity report history.

Can parents set different blocked apps or allowed apps for walking, transport, and stillness?
1. Andrejs SnorinsMakerAugust 17, 2026
  Not currently as three separate app profiles. WalkBlock focuses on restrictions while the child is moving, while stillness restrictions are better handled by Family Link or another parental-control app. The idea is that WalkBlock complements existing parental controls by solving one specific problem: distracting phone use while walking or travelling.
  I’ll keep this suggestion in mind for future updates — separate app profiles for walking, transport, and stillness could be a useful addition.
