When salah begins, scrolling stops. Waqt automatically pauses the distracting apps you choose during each prayer window. Access returns when the window ends or when you confirm you have prayed. Calls, messages, maps and camera stay available.

App protection uses the operating system’s own blocking capabilities. Free includes prayer times, Qibla, logging and one automatically protected prayer each day. Waqt Pro protects all five prayers and unlocks advanced controls and full history.
