This is what finally worked for me
First app or service I tried that actually worked and reduced scrolling. Being able to still view reels from DMs and browse IG without getting bombarded does the trick. Recommend
No es viable.
Es un total no para mĂ
Pretty good!
It has kept me out of instagram and kept me connected. However since I started using this app I can't check my notifications without the app, not even from the browsers, anyone knows a solution?
Great substitute for the YouTube app
This app is more of a web browser than anything else, but it works! By running YouTube through the app Iâve managed to spend wayyyy less time scrolling which has been phenomenal. Gets rid of pesky shorts and prevents me from doomscrolling. I do wish it was easier to navigate the site and that it saved my video progress though since I donât want to log in through this app.

Very reliable
Works
No shorts, no reels. Perfect life it is
This app adds shortcuts from the web versions of youtube and Instagram with blocked reels and shorts tab đ. Loved this clever technique. I would rate 10 out of 5 â¤ď¸
Worst Fake App
This is a fake app plz do not install it on your phone.
effective but deleted in 2 days
it worked well and i didnât scroll instagram for 2 days except i wanted to post on my story and it didnât work so i had to delete it
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. Story posting has been fixed in a recent update.
Perfect
Exactly what I needed thank you đ
Works well. Blocks Reels and Shorts
Works perfectly on iPhone. It hides the reels and blocks shorts. You can also setup automations to keep the main app for notifications.
Doesnât work
This product simply doesnât work. Reels disappeared for maybe 5 minutes and then showed right back up in the app. Tried to readd the new Insta to my Home Screen multiple times and the same thing showed.
Works really good but doesnât block snap reels yet
This is honestly a time saver for me since itâs block useless shorts every where but I beg for the day theyâll had snap to the list of blockables đ
Doesnât work on apps
Doesnât work on apps. Requires lots of user effort to get working.
Response from developer
iOS doesn't let apps filter other apps, so we route the web version through ScrollGuard. Setup is much simpler now: add our widgets to your home screen and one tap opens the filtered version.
Not quite what I thought it would be
This app is just a browser extension. Donât get me wrong, it is nice that they found a workaround for blocking reels on iPhones, and it does work great on the website versions of YT and IG. However, it does not have any effect on the native apps, which is what I really want. I do not like using the mobile website versions of those apps, and I know I will stray back to using the native apps after a while, so this just isnât effective for me. Also, it only works with Safari, which is not the browser I use anyway.
TLDR: It technically works, but isnât ideal.

Works for me!
Already feeling less affected by the doomscrolling a week in. My instagram screen time went down to 30 to 1hr, which is my goal. As somebody working in social media, I canât completely avoid it, but at least I donât waste time. There are minor issues like the interface is less responsive and I noticed you canât zoom in on pictures with your fingers for example, but those are not deal breakers and might even be a good thing that makes the app less appealing to keep coming back to.
Iâve had a similar idea for a long time, but couldnât figure out how to implement on iPhone, so major thank you to the developers.

Only a browser extension
The only reason I would want this is if it prevented reels in the native app
Impressive, looking for more app support!
This is a fantastic tool for blocking reels/shorts/anything designed to keep you scrolling. I canât wait for more app support: Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
