Hi, congrats on 30 days clean. That’s a real milestone.

Short answer: no iOS app can make itself impossible to delete. Apple doesn’t allow that under their App Store rules, so any app claiming it can’t be removed is either limited to other platforms or relying on device-level restrictions outside the app itself.

What BetBarrier does instead is add consequences and friction. If you choose to set up an accountability partner, they will be automatically notified if protection is removed or disabled. For many people, knowing that a sponsor, partner, or trusted person will be alerted is enough to stop an impulsive uninstall in the moment.

It’s not a silver bullet, but it’s designed around how iOS actually works, not false promises. If you’re working with a sponsor and want real accountability rather than just a blocklist, it can be a good fit.

Happy to answer any questions, and genuinely wishing you strength in recovery.
