We can cover the video UI. We cannot kill the audio of a VoIP call. Disable picture-in-picture and notification bubbles.

Video / VoIP calls

We can cover the on-screen video. We cannot drop the audio or the system call notification on current Android.

If the child dismisses our block screen, WhatsApp / Viber / similar may shrink to picture-in-picture. Disable it: Settings → Apps → that messenger → Picture-in-picture → Off. They still hear the call; they should not see the person.

Chat heads and bubbles

We hide notifications for blocked apps. Overlays bypass that:

  • Messenger Chat Heads: disable in Messenger settings.
  • Android Bubbles: Settings → Notifications → Bubbles → don't allow apps to show bubbles.
  • Samsung Smart pop-up view: disable in Samsung settings.
