See which apps each rule blocks: The Rules screen now shows the icons of the apps, categories or websites each rule blocks. A rule that blocks more than two shows a count instead, so its row stays the same size as the others. Experimental: accurate minute counts Turn on Settings → Accurate minute count to see how many minutes you’ve spent in a rule’s app today. The count shows in your rules list and on the block screen, and it updates when you open Conditioning or pull to refresh. Screen Time doesn’t officially support this, so it’s off by default. If your rules act up, turn it off. Fixes: - Apps now unblock as soon as you meet your goal. Before, a blocked app could stay blocked until you opened Conditioning. - Rules apply right away when you open the app. Before, a bug could hold them off until midnight. - Refresh on the block screen now checks Duolingo first, so finishing a lesson and tapping Refresh unblocks your app. - Rule edits take effect immediately. Before, a quick change could be enforced using your old settings. - A “use another app” rule with no app chosen no longer counts as finished. It now says “Choose an app to use.” - Fixed bug where the rule name might not save if you quickly leave the editing screen
