ERROR ActiveArmor and Call Protect - We hit a snag. We couldn't complete your request...

I have a Samsung galaxy s22 ultra. ActiveArmor is now installed but cannot remove Call Protect. I am getting errors when attempting to set up calls in ActiveArmor "We've hit a snag...".  It was also producing errors when I tried to block a call through "recents" on my phone, so I disabled and force-stopped Call Protect. It worked for that issue, but I still have problems with ActiveArmor.

Call Protect does not show up in my addons on myatt but it is in Apps on my phone. Need a Fix since ActiveArmor can't be uninstalled.

Fix for users having the issue in the Active Armour settings "we hit a snag":

So after a month of trying to find a solution to the new Active Armour problems which replaced Call Protect, what I had to do to get the app working was:

1) Go to your Android settings under Administrative Apps, toggle off Active Armour.

2) Go to the Google Play Store and uninstall the app.

3) restart your phone and go to Google Playstore and reinstall Active Armour.

4) Now you can go to your call settings and configure as was in Call Protect.

The AT&T tech specialists were useless I'm helping me find a solution despite sending my app logs on 3 occasions and explaining the issue.  I kept getting a generic email message stating all was okay with Active Armour on my phone.  Totally useless tech specialists!

Thanks - worked for me. I did not have Active Armor enabled as an admin app otherwise worked as you outlined.

I received a message with a link that says it is for ATT verification on here. The person says we can talk on social media... it's a direct message not social media... Is this real? The poor use of English has me thinking that it's not.

Sadly AT&T has replaced an app that worked perfectly to something that (Edited per community guidelines).   I no longer get call protection.  I've tried doing what

alphatalve

suggested too, but that didn't work.  AT&T get your (Edited per community guidelines) together.  You're about to push me over to Verizon.

UPDATE: I tried everything. I just canceled my subscription and urge others who get this message to do the same. 

One of the worst apps with some of the worst support to get Active Armor to work without "we hit a snag." I can't unblock anyone. I've spent hours trying to get this to work. My last resort is almost upon me, and that is canceling my subscription and waiting until ATT can fix this atrocious app.
