About EdgeBlock: Screen edge touch blocker
EdgeBlock protects the edge of your screen from accidental touches. Great for phones with curved screen edges, thin bezels or infinity displays.
The touch-protected area is adjustable and can be made invisible or any color you like! Adjust the color, opacity and width of the blocked area and specify which edges should be blocked. You can set which edges are blocked separately for portrait, landscape and fullscreen modes.
There are many ways to control EdgeBlock. You can temporarily disable (pause) blocking by tapping the notification. You can turn EdgeBlock on or off with a Quick Settings tile. And finally, you pause/resume or start/stop the service using public intents compatible with automation apps such as Tasker (be sure to specify the package name, flar2.edgeblock)
Public Intents:
flar2.edgeblock.PAUSE_RESUME_SERVICE
flar2.edgeblock.START_STOP_SERVICE
EdgeBlock has no ads and does not collect any of your data. EdgeBlock is lightweight and does not require invasive permissions. It only needs permission to draw or display over other apps.
The free version is fully functional. The only option that requires payment is "Apply on boot." If you want EdgeBlock to automatically start at boot, then you must buy EdgeBlock Pro. If you do not wish to pay, you can start it manually at each boot and still enjoy all other features, ad-free.

User reviews
My thought after using is that it would be better improvement , as i see also other users suggested, to be able to select touch blocked width individually for each one of the four edges, still in both modes - portrait and landscape, as you cleverly designed it already. Also, i appreciate it would be ideal if you cou...
Works very well to do something Samsung should have done anyway!
Nice app easy to use 👍👍👍👍
You're probably gonna laugh at this but I use this app to color the edges to perfectly install screen protectors lol
Really good, finally no more accidental taps especially in games the oneplus 8 pro.
i bought the pro version, i have a suggestion, can you provide a way to customize on and off for top bar, bottom bar, left bar, right bar. my scenario was that i need 3 edges blocked. because the edges are paired, i do not have granular control.
