Short-Form Content Block

I would love to have the option to block Instagram/Facebook reels, YouTube shorts and similar content- they’re my biggest time waster

    I’d love to see this feature on the Windows browser extension as well, if that’s possible. I really wanna block out unnecessary content like Shorts from Youtube

    I was wondering if there was any plans to add Twitter (X) video reels to this? When I tap on a video on Twitter, it changes the display and you can scroll for more videos infinitely. I’ve lost too much time and braincells because of it.

    Oh, we need this SO bad. I wish this could be applied on iOS as well, I need to watch Youtube videos for important stuff sometimes but keep getting distracted by Youtube shorts 😭

    Hey! Are you using an iPhone or Android? We’re actually working on this right now for the Android app. on iPhone it’s not yet possible unfortunately due to technical limitations on Apple’s side.

      Hello,

      not sure if this is the right place to ask, but the blocker for Instagram Reels is not working for me on Android.

      The blocker for Instagram Stories and YouTube Shorts are working though.

      Thank you! Let me know if more information is needed or this is not the place for this.

        Hi Jonas, I just wanted to follow up on this. We have recently published a fix, has this been resolved for you?
