What's New in BackToLife Feed

1.9.0

October 28, 2026

What's new in 1.9.0 • Facebook inside the app, with Reels off by default and seven filters of your own: Hide Watch, Reels in Feed, Stories, Suggestions, Ads, Marketplace and Notifications. The messages tab opens your Messenger inbox inside the app. • DMs only on X and Messages only on Facebook, the school-hours lock Instagram and TikTok already had. • Hardcore mode (Premium): lock the rules you pick against yourself, with a cooling-off before any switch-off. • Dark mode and the passcode are now free for everyone. • A Security screen for your passcode and password, a Privacy screen for analytics, and one switch per notification. • Invite friends: a code at signup gives them a free first month. • Sign-in help on every network; TikTok, Instagram and Facebook fit the phone better, without "get the app" banners. • Instagram's keyboard keeps what you type in view: story replies, comments and DMs. YouTube opens faster.

Ya me gusta como está 10/10

Anteriormente la borré por q parecía una web de los 2s pero ya esta 10/10, bendiciones

Response from developer

Muchísimas gracias!! Nos alegramos de que te guste la app.

Muy buen concepto, pero falta pulirlo

Me encantó la idea, en lo personal me ha servido demasiado para bajar mi tiempo en pantalla! Logré bajar de las 6:30h a solo 4:30h al día, realmente increíble. Eso sí, aún falta pulir un par de cosas. Creo que la idea de que solo se pueda abrir desde widgets está tremendo, es lo que más me ha servido. Pero la forma en la que está distribuida la app, sus menús y su lógica es muy poco intuitiva al principio. Estaré esperando alguna actualización que cambie esto!!

¡Menudo cambio, enhorabuena! Gracias por el feedback; seguimos puliendo esos detalles.

Esta bug

A mi ni me sirve, cuando abro ig la app reinicia la web en bucle y nunca puedo acceder a ig

Response from developer

Eso suele pasar cuando intentas iniciar sesión con los filtros ya activados. Prueba a entrar e iniciar sesión con los filtros desactivados y, una vez dentro, los activas. Si aun así no entras, escríbeme a hola.backtolife@gmail.com.

Losing push notifications and security

I think this app is a brilliant idea
I am a developer and I know that due to software limitations, push notifications cannot work using instagram webviews like they do in this app when you open the widget
Which really kills my idea of using it only as DMs to text my friends, their message notifications cannot show up
Maybe if they implement a matrix server like Beeper it would work
But why not using Beeper in the first place?
Beeper doesn’t work very well though regarding notifications

2nd thing I want to mention is security
Basically as you log into instagram using a webview, the developer of this application can update it to send your cookie credentials to his own servers in any time specially if he is using an OTA update which is not controlled by apple reviewers

This application is a brilliant idea but the execution is not good
It’s not the author
/developers fault, but the software limitations, laws and closed Apple ecosystem…

I also found some bugs using the app like I couldn’t go back to the webview and the ⚙️ button didn’t work sometimes

Thanks for the thoughtful, technical feedback. You're right about the webview limitation on notifications; it's one of the hardest trade-offs we're working through. I'd love to hear your take at hola.backtolife@gmail.com.
