If you’re seeing a “Live Blocking is Active” banner on your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island, that’s an iOS Live Activity — Apple’s way of showing real-time blocking status while Roots is running. Here’s how to turn it off.
How to turn off live activities
Open Settings
Scroll down and tap Roots
Turn off Live Activities (see image below)
Your blocking will keep running perfectly in the background — you just won’t see the live status update on your screen anymore.
