# Blocked Apps Tool

The Blocked Apps Tool allows you to manage app-level exclusions for their campaigns. You can block apps at **Advertiser**, **Product**, and **Campaign** levels, with platform-specific configurations for iOS and Android. This tool ensures ads do not appear on unwanted apps, which enhances control over ad placements.
