[Isla @Isla2D]

Beta Blocker 4.0 is out on Windows and it’s the biggest update I’ve ever made. It can now block the whole person. Here’s everything that’s new and what’s changed. Buckle in because this update is insane 🐾

🧍 Whole Person Blocking
Beta Blocker isn't only limited to boxes now. It now has the ability to trace each person’s outline and covers their exact shape in your chosen style, so it follows them as they move, and choose to block people only when something is showing, or everyone. and it's fully compatible with the rest of the apps features.

🔲 Finally, You Can Remove Borders
You’ve been asking for this one for a very long time. Switch off Show a border in the Look page’s Border tab and your blocks have no outline at all. Rather keep one? Pick its style, colour and thickness instead.

⚡ Performance Upgrades
New content gets blocked much faster, as fast as 9ms on a non-busy screen, the app opens twice as fast, coverage while scrolling went from 87% to 99.6%, and Export is about 2x faster.

🖥️ Brand New Interface
A clean Windows 11 style sidebar with one page per job, Ctrl+K search for any setting, a new welcome for first time users and 18 languages.

🎨 12 New Styles, 100+ New Looks
There's so much new content here it'd be hard to fit in this post, but there's hundreds of new variants to try out. Every style has 8 to 12 different looks, Custom takes GIFs and videos, and opacity is now truly see-through.

📈 Escalation
A plan Beta Blocker can follow step by step while you’re protected. Each step can change what’s hidden, your look, screen effects, and more. Lot's of fun to be had here, especially when combined with custom packs.

✨ New Effects Page
New Wallpaper option! You can now set up custom wallpapers within the app, Plus 36 ambient loops, 50 new voice lines and unlockable frames.

🏆 Ranks and XP
12 ranks from Curious to MASTER. Earn XP for protected time, streaks, locks and weekly challenges, and unlock exclusive styles, Spiral sets, themes, frames and wallpapers. Your time before 4.0 counts, ranks never drop.

🎬 Creator Studio
This one is for the people who love to make content with Beta Blocker. There's an entire section of the app dedicated to you. Everything has been improved and much more has been added.

🔄 Reverse Upgrades
Every Reverse style costs 10% to 63% of what it did in 3.67 with the exact same picture, so no more laggy blur. Six new full-screen looks.

🛍️ Workshop and Packs 2.0
Redesigned Workshop with theme try-on and one-click pack switching. Packs can now carry the new styles, wallpapers, ambient sound, voice lines and Escalation plans, and Pack Creator 2 is rebuilt with a live preview.

🐛 Bug Fixes & QoL
Alot of the main issues with Beta Blocker have been fixed, PC's with two graphics cards are better supported. Releases are now digitally signed. Plus hundreds of smaller fixes.

oh, plus the new whole person feature has been added to Android, so everyone can enjoy it!

Enjoy 💕

@Max36125257 That’s exactly why I put it on android 6 months ago

[Isla @Isla2D]

Everyone has been wondering how does Beta Blocker actuallyyy work beneath the surface? Here's a little simplified breakdown video of the process 🫶

[Isla @Isla2D]

@Noodles_GRLZ I just googled it and got jumpscared at 5am 😭

[Isla @Isla2D]

I think one of the best parts about my apps and programs is that you get free lifetime support and updates. If I’m not around to help there usually a mod who will 🥹

I noticed a lack of this in the community when I first joined and I really wanted to make sure people know they’re in safe hands so I try my best to make them feel like they’re looked after. 🫶

Everyone should be using this ♥️

Every setting I'd change in Beta Blocker for Android, in one post, since you all loved the Windows version.

Here's what each setting does, what I'd pick, and how it all works without anything leaving your phone.

1. Whole screen or one app

Settings > What to protect.

Whole screen is the default. It covers every app.

One app covers only the app you pick and pauses when you switch away. It gives the smoothest boxes for long videos. It needs Android 14 or newer.

So it's a choice between blocking in every app and smoother blocking in one. I left that choice to you.

2. Speed

Settings > Detection > Speed.

This is one of the most important settings, so it's worth getting right. More pixels spot smaller and more distant things.

Light: 320 pixels, about 4 checks a second. It also waits between checks to save battery.
Balanced: 320 pixels, about 9 checks a second. The default.
Best accuracy: 480 pixels, about 7 checks a second.

What I'd pick:
Recent flagship: Best accuracy.
Most phones: Balanced.
Older phone, or one that runs hot: Light.

3. Strictness

Same screen as Speed. Balanced is the default.

Strict covers anything that might be a problem, even when it's unsure. Relaxed gives you fewer false alarms but lets a few things through. If your goal is "nothing gets past", choose Strict.

Want finer control? Open Advanced on the same screen and set the exact threshold yourself.

4. What to hide

Style > What to hide.

The first option is the default, and most people never need more. You can add more areas, cover all 18, or pick them one by one, faces included.

Whole body is the other way to block: an outline around each person instead of a box per area. Use it for dance videos and crowds. It uses a little more battery and works best with One app.

5. Turn on the performance overlay

Settings > Advanced > Performance overlay.

It shows the check time and frame rate at the bottom of your screen. If boxes arrive late, go one step lighter. If everything stays smooth, go one step up. A few minutes of scrolling tells you what your phone can handle.

6. Permissions (the big one)

Settings > Permissions shows everything Beta Blocker uses and why, and you turn each one on yourself.

Notifications: shows whenever protection is on, with a Stop button.
Unrestricted battery: without it, Android's battery saving can switch protection off halfway through a video.
Smooth overlay: boxes that never block your taps, and up to 32 at once instead of 16.

Settings > Battery saver is on by default. It slows checks down when the battery is at 20% or lower, Android's battery saver is on, or the phone gets very hot. Leave it on unless you need every check.

7. Skip apps

Settings > Skip apps. Pick apps Beta Blocker should ignore, like your camera or a game. It's more useful than you'd think. It needs Smooth overlay.

8. Privacy

Everything runs on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, and there's no account.

The summary:

Most phones: Whole screen, Balanced speed, Strict, and Notifications, Unrestricted battery and Smooth overlay all on.
Recent flagship: the same with Best accuracy.

Had to explain to my accountant what Beta Blocker is and why it’s so popular and she said “why on earth would they want to use that?” 🤣
