Make it impossible to change your Waiting Room while in the Waiting Room

When trying to unblock your apps and during the countdown, if you set the countdown to get longer each time, you can simply click on the three lines in the top right corner and set it back to 5 seconds (Difficulty: regular), then leave the countdown and re-open it, so however long your countdown was is now 5 seconds. If the point of the hard difficulty setting was supposed to be to be to disincentivize the user from always unblocking their apps knowing that it’s going to be longer each time, isn’t that gone when the user knows they can always set their timer back to 5 seconds without even waiting for the original countdown?

Would appreciate if this was fixed.

Thanks!

Hey there,

Happy to help. Thanks for your request for that Waiting Room feature to not be editable while within the Waiting Room. I’ve passed this suggestion along to our engineers to consider as we continue to upgrade the app. Stay tuned on that front!

Thanks for your patience,
Team Opal
