Block Facebook on Android

Scroll less. Pray more. Guard Facebook.

The Facebook feed never ends — and neither does the pull to check it one more time. Prayer Guard is the Android app that intercepts Facebook at launch with a Bible verse, a breathing pause, and a short prayer, so you open it on purpose or return in peace.

How to block Facebook on Android

Four steps to a quieter feed

Install Prayer Guard

Download Prayer Guard free from Google Play on your Android phone. No account or sign-up needed.

Grant the guard permission

Prayer Guard asks for the Android permission it needs to detect when Facebook launches. Everything stays on your device.

Select Facebook

Choose Facebook from your app list. Add Messenger too if the chat pull is part of the habit.

Pray before you scroll

Next time you tap Facebook, a verse and a prayer appear first. With Hard Block, prayer is the only way in.

Built for believers

From outrage feed to holy pause

Facebook's feed is tuned for engagement — and outrage engages. That constant hum of comparison, arguments, and bad news follows you off the screen and into your prayer life.

Prayer Guard puts Scripture between you and the feed. A verse to reset your heart, a breath to slow your hands, and a prayer that meets you where you are. You'll still see what matters — birthdays, groups, family — but you'll arrive there on purpose.
