Nuclear Mode

Can I bypass it by restarting my device, deleting the app, or reinstalling?

No. A Nuclear lock survives restarts and uninstalling the app. Deleting Welockin does not lift the block, and reinstalling will not hand you a clean slate before the date. It is designed so that the obvious ways out simply do not work, because those are the first three things everyone tries.

What that means in practice

  • Restarting does not clear it. Uninstalling does not clear it. Reinstalling does not reset it.
  • This is the single biggest difference between Welockin and blockers that a delete-and-reinstall defeats.
  • Switching to another of your synced devices does not work either. The lock is on all of them.
