      <description>&lt;p&gt;인스타 릴스만 차단하고 DM은 쓸 수 있는 아이폰 앱으로는 minulo가 있는데, 릴스·쇼츠 숨기기는 무료라서 구독이 필요 없고 시간 제한도 없으며 DM과 단톡은 그대로 써요. 비슷한 앱으로 Scroll Less, Stillfeed, UNDOOMED가 있고, 공식 인스타 앱 안에서 바로 막고 싶다면 Scroll Less, 안드로이드에서도 써야 한다면 UNDOOMED가 더 잘 맞아요.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;저는 minulo를 만든 개발자예요. minulo 부분은 그 점을 감안해서 읽어 주세요. 다른 앱에 대한 내용은 각 앱의 App Store 페이지와 공식 웹사이트에서 가져왔고(2026년 10월 27일~11월 4일 확인), 직접 써 보지는 않았어요. 기능과 가격은 바뀔 수 있어요.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  한눈에 비교
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Scroll Less&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Stillfeed&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;UNDOOMED&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;minulo&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;작동 방식&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;공식 Instagram, YouTube 앱 안에서 막아요. Blocker를 켜고 iOS 방송을 시작해야 해요&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;내장 브라우저에서 SNS를 열어요&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;자체 비공개 브라우저에서 각 SNS의 모바일 웹사이트를 열어요&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;앱 안에서 각 SNS의 웹사이트를 열고 고른 부분만 숨겨요&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;지원 SNS&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Instagram, YouTube (웹사이트 기능은 Reddit까지)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;8개: Instagram, YouTube, X, Reddit, Snapchat, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;7개: Instagram, Threads, Reddit, Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;10개: Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Threads, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, LinkedIn, Snapchat&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;인스타 DM&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;App Store 설명에 따르면 계속 써요&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;그대로&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;그대로&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;그대로 (단톡 포함)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;메시지만 보기&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;설명에 없어요&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;DM Only (Pro)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Messages Only (웹사이트 기준 Pro)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;DM 외의 모든 탭 (무료)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;무료로 되는 것&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;App Store 설명에도 웹사이트에도 나와 있지 않아요&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;8개 SNS에서 릴스와 쇼츠 숨기기&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;무료로 쓸 수 있고 Pro가 따로 있어요&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;10개 SNS에서 릴스, 쇼츠, 탐색, 추천 게시물 숨기기. 공식 앱 잠금은 한 번에 최대 2시간&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;유료&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;한국 App Store 앱 내 구입: Premium ₩7,700, Premium Annual ₩49,000, Lifetime ₩25,000·₩77,000&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pro: 주 $2.99, 월 $5.99, 연 $44.99 (미국)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pro&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pro: 월 $9.99, 연 $39.99 (미국 App Store), 처음 7일 무료&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;안드로이드&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;App Store 설명에 언급 없음&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;App Store 설명에 언급 없음&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;지원&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;없음&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;미국 App Store 평가&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;25개, 평균 4.5&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;아직 없음&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;108개, 평균 4.3&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;1개&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  어떤 앱이 맞을까요
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;공식 인스타 앱을 그대로 쓰고 싶다면 Scroll Less.&lt;/strong&gt; 공식 앱 안에서 릴스와 쇼츠를 막는 방식이고, App Store 설명에 따르면 DM, 스토리 답장, 검색은 계속 쓸 수 있어요. 대신 막는 동안 iOS 방송을 켜 둬야 하고, 앱 언어는 영어뿐이에요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;쓰는 SNS가 Stillfeed의 8개 안에 있다면 Stillfeed도 괜찮아요.&lt;/strong&gt; 릴스와 쇼츠 숨기기는 무료이고, 무엇이 차단됐는지 주마다 세어 주는 통계도 있어요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;안드로이드에서도 같은 앱을 써야 한다면 UNDOOMED.&lt;/strong&gt; 아이폰과 안드로이드를 모두 지원하고, 미국 평가도 가장 많아요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;돈을 내지 않고 인스타를 DM용으로만 쓰고 싶다면 minulo.&lt;/strong&gt; DM만 남기는 설정까지 무료이고, TikTok, Threads, Facebook, Pinterest도 같이 정리할 수 있어요. 한국어로도 쓸 수 있어요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  흔한 경우
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;과제 단톡이나 동아리 연락이 인스타에 있어서 앱을 지울 수 없는 경우가 흔해요. 이때 스크린 타임으로 인스타를 막으면 DM도 같이 막혀서, 답장하려고 제한을 풀다가 결국 릴스로 돌아가기 쉬워요. 그래서 앱 전체를 막기보다 릴스만 숨기고 DM은 남기는 앱을 찾게 돼요.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  minulo에서 릴스만 숨기는 법
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;minulo를 설치하고 홈 화면에서 &lt;strong&gt;서비스 추가&lt;/strong&gt;를 눌러 Instagram을 골라요. 인스타그램의 공식 로그인 화면에서 로그인하고, minulo는 비밀번호를 받지 않아요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Instagram 옆 톱니바퀴를 누르고 릴스와 탐색 탭 숨기기를 켜요. DM만 남기고 싶다면 &lt;strong&gt;DM 외의 모든 탭&lt;/strong&gt;을 켜요. 둘 다 무료예요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;원하면 &lt;strong&gt;차단&lt;/strong&gt; 탭에서 공식 인스타 앱을 스크린 타임으로 잠가요(한 번에 최대 2시간까지 무료). 아이콘을 누르면 차단 화면이 나오고, &lt;strong&gt;minulo에서 열기&lt;/strong&gt;를 누르면 릴스 없는 인스타로 넘어가요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  minulo의 한계
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;minulo가 보여 주는 건 공식 앱이 아니라 각 SNS의 웹사이트라서, 화면이 공식 앱과 조금 달라요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;숨겨지는 건 minulo 안에서 열었을 때만이에요. 공식 앱은 그대로예요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;minulo로 공식 앱을 잠근 동안에는 그 앱의 알림이 오지 않아요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;아이폰과 Mac에서 쓸 수 있고, 안드로이드와 아이패드 버전은 없어요. 나온 지 얼마 안 된 앱이라 평가도 아직 적어요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;숨기기와 한 번에 최대 2시간 차단은 무료예요. minulo Pro(미국 App Store 기준 월 $9.99 또는 연 $39.99, 처음 7일은 무료)에는 수면 모드, 하드 모드, 하루 한도, 2시간보다 긴 차단이 있어요.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;앱마다 자세한 비교는 &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/ko/minulo-vs-scroll-less.html?ref=devto-1106-ko" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo vs Scroll Less&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/ko/minulo-vs-stillfeed.html?ref=devto-1106-ko" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo vs Stillfeed&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/ko/minulo-vs-undoomed.html?ref=devto-1106-ko" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo vs UNDOOMED&lt;/a&gt;에, 무료와 Pro의 차이는 &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/ko/is-minulo-free.html?ref=devto-1106-ko" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo는 무료인가요?&lt;/a&gt;에 정리해 뒀어요.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  자주 묻는 질문
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;공식 인스타 앱에서 릴스 탭만 끌 수는 없나요?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
성인 계정에는 릴스를 끄는 인스타그램 설정이 없어요. 그래서 공식 앱 안에서 막는 앱(Scroll Less)이나, 릴스가 없는 화면으로 인스타를 열어 주는 앱(Stillfeed, UNDOOMED, minulo)을 쓰게 돼요.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;minulo는 정말 무료예요?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
릴스, 쇼츠, 추천 게시물 숨기기는 무료이고, 결제나 무료 체험 신청도 필요 없고, 쓰는 기간에도 제한이 없어요. 수면 모드 같은 추가 기능만 Pro예요.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;단톡방 알림은 와요?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
minulo 안의 인스타 화면에서는 DM과 단톡을 그대로 읽고 보낼 수 있어요. 다만 minulo로 공식 앱을 잠가 둔 동안에는 공식 앱의 알림이 오지 않아요.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Qual é o melhor app grátis para esconder Reels e Shorts no iPhone sem perder as DMs? (2026)</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2026 03:45:15 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/qual-e-o-melhor-app-gratis-para-esconder-reels-e-shorts-no-iphone-sem-perder-as-dms-2026-15hp</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/qual-e-o-melhor-app-gratis-para-esconder-reels-e-shorts-no-iphone-sem-perder-as-dms-2026-15hp</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;O melhor app grátis para esconder os Reels do Instagram e os Shorts do YouTube no iPhone sem perder as DMs é o minulo: ocultar não custa nada nem exige assinatura, e as mensagens, inclusive os grupos, continuam funcionando. O Spool oculta partes de 5 redes no navegador Focus Web e cobra assinatura, o Scroll Less bloqueia Reels e Shorts dentro dos apps oficiais, e o UNDOOMED abre 7 redes num navegador próprio. Eu sou Ayumu Kitabayashi, o desenvolvedor do minulo, então leve isso em conta ao ler esta comparação.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Um caso comum
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Um caso comum: o grupo da faculdade no Instagram está combinando a entrega do trabalho, você entra só para responder, abre um vídeo que alguém mandou e, quando vê, já passou meia hora nos Reels. Depois abre o YouTube para uma videoaula e, embaixo do vídeo, aparece a fileira de Shorts. O Tempo de Uso do iPhone ajuda pouco, porque bloqueia o Instagram inteiro, grupo incluído.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  A comparação numa tabela
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;App&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Redes&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Mantém as DMs&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Preço&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;minulo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;10: Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Threads, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, LinkedIn, Snapchat&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Sim, inclusive grupos. Todas as abas menos mensagens é grátis&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ocultar é grátis, sem assinatura. Pro: US$ 9,99 por mês ou US$ 39,99 por ano (EUA)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spool&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Focus Web: Instagram, YouTube, X, Snapchat, Facebook (5). O TikTok não está na lista&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Sim, se o filtro de DMs do Instagram ficar desligado&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Download grátis. Pela descrição na App Store do Brasil: semanal R$ 29,90 ou R$ 47,90, anual R$ 299,90&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scroll Less&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Blocker nos apps do Instagram e do YouTube; sites do Instagram, YouTube e Reddit. O TikTok não é citado&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Sim, segundo a App Store&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Download grátis. Compras no app como Premium R$ 29,90, Premium Annual R$ 199,90, Lifetime R$ 99,90 ou R$ 299,90. Não diz o que é grátis&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UNDOOMED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;7: Instagram, Threads, Reddit, Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn (sem TikTok e sem Snapchat)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Sim. O modo Messages Only é Pro, segundo o site&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Muitos recursos grátis. Plus US$ 1,99/mês; Pro US$ 2,99/mês, US$ 17,99/ano ou US$ 29,99 vitalício (EUA)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dados dos outros apps: páginas na App Store e sites oficiais, consultados entre outubro e novembro de 2026. Recursos e preços podem mudar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  O que muda de verdade entre eles
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Onde a ocultação acontece.&lt;/strong&gt; O minulo abre o site oficial de cada rede dentro do app e oculta as partes que você escolher, sem mexer nos apps oficiais. O Scroll Less faz o contrário: funciona dentro dos apps reais do Instagram e do YouTube, e para isso o iOS pede que você inicie uma transmissão do Scroll Less, segundo o site. Se você quer continuar nos apps oficiais, ele foi feito para isso.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O que é grátis.&lt;/strong&gt; No minulo, só os extras são pagos: o Modo sono, o Modo Rígido, o Limite diário e bloqueios de mais de 2 horas. Nos primeiros 7 dias, todo o Pro é grátis. O Spool tem download grátis, mas a página da App Store não diz o que funciona sem assinatura. O UNDOOMED tem muitos recursos grátis, mas a página não diz quais.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O jeito de segurar você.&lt;/strong&gt; O Spool pede que você explique para uma IA por que quer abrir um app bloqueado. O minulo não faz isso: ele pode bloquear o app oficial do Instagram com o Tempo de Uso na aba Bloquear, de graça por até 2 horas por bloqueio, e a tela de bloqueio tem o botão Abrir no minulo. Enquanto o app oficial está bloqueado, as notificações dele não chegam.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Onde o minulo fica atrás.&lt;/strong&gt; Spool, Scroll Less e UNDOOMED estão há mais tempo na App Store e têm mais avaliações. O UNDOOMED também existe para Android. O minulo saiu em setembro de 2026 e não tem versão Android, mas tem um app para Mac que funciona no Safari e no Chrome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Como deixar pronto no minulo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Instale o minulo pela App Store. Não precisa de conta nem cadastro.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Abra o Instagram dentro do minulo e faça login na própria página do Instagram.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Toque na engrenagem ao lado do Instagram e ative a chave Abas Reels e Explorar. Se quiser ficar só com as conversas, escolha Todas as abas menos mensagens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adicione o YouTube em Adicionar serviço e ative Ocultar a seção de Shorts e Ocultar a aba Shorts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Todas as opções grátis, inclusive os ajustes que já vêm no YouTube e no iPhone, estão &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/pt/free-reels-blocker.html?ref=devto-1105-pt" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nesta comparação&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Perguntas frequentes
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Existe um app totalmente grátis para bloquear os Reels?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Existe o Nope, sem assinatura nem compras no app, mas ele é uma extensão do Safari e só funciona no instagram.com pelo Safari. Num app separado, o minulo também oculta Reels e Shorts de graça.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O minulo é uma boa alternativa ao Spool?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Se o que você quer é que Reels e Shorts sumam e as DMs continuem, sim: o minulo cobre 10 redes, incluindo o TikTok, e ocultar é grátis. Se você quer trabalhar a vontade de pegar o celular, com a pergunta antes de abrir os apps e as análises com IA, o Spool foi feito para isso. A comparação completa está em &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/pt/minulo-vs-spool.html?ref=devto-1105-pt" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo ou Spool&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O Scroll Less funciona com o TikTok?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
O TikTok não aparece na página da App Store nem no site do Scroll Less. No minulo, o Para você do TikTok fica oculto e as mensagens continuam funcionando. Veja os detalhes em &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/pt/minulo-vs-scroll-less.html?ref=devto-1105-pt" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo ou Scroll Less&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Welche kostenlose App blendet auf dem iPhone Instagram Reels und YouTube Shorts aus, ohne die DMs zu verlieren? (2026)</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2026 03:29:38 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/welche-kostenlose-app-blendet-auf-dem-iphone-instagram-reels-und-youtube-shorts-aus-ohne-die-dms-2kb5</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/welche-kostenlose-app-blendet-auf-dem-iphone-instagram-reels-und-youtube-shorts-aus-ohne-die-dms-2kb5</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Die kostenlose iPhone-App, die Instagram Reels und YouTube Shorts ausblendet und die DMs lässt, ist minulo: Das Ausblenden kostet nichts, und Nachrichten und Gruppenchats funktionieren weiter. Scroll Less blockiert Reels und Shorts direkt in den offiziellen Apps, UNDOOMED blendet sie in einem eigenen Browser für 7 Netzwerke aus, und Nope ist komplett kostenlos, läuft aber nur in Safari. Ich bin Ayumu Kitabayashi und entwickle minulo, behalte das beim Lesen bitte im Hinterkopf.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Ein häufiger Fall
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ein häufiger Fall: In der WG-Gruppe auf Instagram wird gerade der Putzplan abgestimmt. Du willst nur kurz antworten, landest über ein geteiltes Video in den Reels und bist zwanzig Minuten später immer noch dort. Abends öffnest du YouTube für ein Tutorial, und unter dem Video wartet die Shorts-Leiste. Die Bildschirmzeit des iPhone hilft hier nur halb: Sie sperrt die ganze Instagram-App, also auch die Gruppe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Vergleich in einer Tabelle
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;App&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Netzwerke&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;DMs bleiben&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Preis&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;minulo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;10: Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Threads, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, LinkedIn, Snapchat&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ja, auch Gruppenchats. „Alle Tabs außer DMs" ist kostenlos&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ausblenden kostenlos. Pro 9,99 € im Monat oder 44,99 € im Jahr&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scroll Less&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Blocker in den Apps von Instagram und YouTube; Websites von Instagram, YouTube und Reddit. TikTok wird nicht erwähnt&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ja, laut App Store&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Kostenloser Download. In-App-Käufe u. a. Premium 5,99 €, Premium Annual 34,99 €, Lifetime 17,99 € oder 59,99 €. Was kostenlos ist, steht nicht dabei&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UNDOOMED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;7: Instagram, Threads, Reddit, Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn (kein TikTok, kein Snapchat)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ja. Der Modus Messages Only gehört laut Website zu Pro&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Viele Funktionen kostenlos. Plus 1,99 $ im Monat, Pro 2,99 $ im Monat, 17,99 $ im Jahr oder 29,99 $ einmalig (USA)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nope&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Instagram und YouTube, nur in Safari&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ja&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Komplett kostenlos, keine Abos, keine In-App-Käufe&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Die Angaben zu den anderen Apps stammen aus ihren App-Store-Seiten und Websites, geprüft zwischen Ende Oktober und Anfang November 2026. Preise und Funktionen können sich ändern.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Worin sich die Apps wirklich unterscheiden
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wo ausgeblendet wird.&lt;/strong&gt; minulo öffnet die offizielle Website jedes Dienstes in der App und blendet die Teile aus, die du auswählst. Die offiziellen Apps verändert es nicht. Scroll Less geht den umgekehrten Weg und arbeitet in den echten Apps von Instagram und YouTube. Dafür fragt iOS laut Website, ob du eine Übertragung für Scroll Less starten willst. Wer in den offiziellen Apps bleiben möchte, ist dort richtig.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Was kostenlos ist.&lt;/strong&gt; Bei minulo und Nope kostet das Ausblenden selbst nichts. UNDOOMED hat viele kostenlose Funktionen, auf der App-Store-Seite steht aber nicht, welche. Bei Scroll Less sagen weder die App-Store-Seite noch die Website, welche Funktionen ohne Bezahlung gehen. Bei minulo kosten nur Extras Geld: Schlafmodus, Hardmodus, Tageslimit und Sperren länger als 2 Stunden. In den ersten 7 Tagen ist alles aus Pro kostenlos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wie streng es ist.&lt;/strong&gt; minulo kann die offizielle Instagram-App im Tab Blockieren mit der Bildschirmzeit sperren, kostenlos bis zu 2 Stunden pro Sperre. Auf dem Sperrbildschirm gibt es dann die Taste In minulo öffnen. Solange die offizielle App gesperrt ist, kommen ihre Mitteilungen nicht an.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wo minulo hinten liegt.&lt;/strong&gt; Scroll Less ist seit März 2025 im App Store, UNDOOMED gibt es auch für Android, und beide haben mehr Bewertungen. minulo ist im September 2026 erschienen und hat keine Android-Version, dafür eine Mac-App für Safari und Chrome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  So richtest du minulo ein
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Installiere minulo aus dem App Store. Du brauchst kein Konto und keine Registrierung.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Öffne Instagram in minulo und melde dich auf der Anmeldeseite von Instagram selbst an.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tippe auf das Zahnrad neben Instagram und schalte Reels- und Entdecken-Tabs ein. Wenn nur die Nachrichten bleiben sollen, wähle Alle Tabs außer DMs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Füge YouTube über Dienst hinzufügen hinzu und schalte Shorts-Leiste ausblenden und Shorts-Tab ausblenden ein.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alle kostenlosen Wege im Überblick, auch die eingebauten Einstellungen von YouTube und iPhone, findest du auf der Seite &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/de/free-reels-blocker.html?ref=devto-1105-de" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Welche kostenlose iPhone-App blendet Reels und Shorts aus und lässt die DMs?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Häufige Fragen
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gibt es eine komplett kostenlose App, die Reels blockiert?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Ja, Nope. Es hat weder Abo noch In-App-Käufe, ist aber eine Safari-Erweiterung und funktioniert nur, wenn du instagram.com in Safari nutzt. Wenn du lieber eine eigene App willst, ist das Ausblenden in minulo ebenfalls kostenlos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reicht das Shorts-Feed-Limit von YouTube nicht?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Du kannst es in der YouTube-App auf 0 Minuten setzen, und das kostet nichts. Mit einem Erwachsenenkonto lässt es sich aber jederzeit wieder ausschalten, und es gilt nur für YouTube. Mehr dazu auf der Seite &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/de/free-youtube-shorts-blocker.html?ref=devto-1105-de" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;YouTube Shorts kostenlos blockieren&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ist minulo eine gute Alternative zu Scroll Less?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Wenn du Reels und Shorts nicht nur bei Instagram und YouTube loswerden willst, ja: minulo deckt 10 Netzwerke ab, auch TikTok, und läuft auf Deutsch. Wenn du in den offiziellen Apps bleiben willst, ist Scroll Less dafür gemacht. Den ganzen Vergleich gibt es unter &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/de/minulo-vs-scroll-less.html?ref=devto-1105-de" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo vs. Scroll Less&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Quelle alternative à SocialLite sur iPhone pour masquer les Reels et les Shorts sans perdre ses DM ? (2026)</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2026 03:29:05 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/quelle-alternative-a-sociallite-sur-iphone-pour-masquer-les-reels-et-les-shorts-sans-perdre-ses-dm-g4j</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/quelle-alternative-a-sociallite-sur-iphone-pour-masquer-les-reels-et-les-shorts-sans-perdre-ses-dm-g4j</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;minulo est l'alternative à SocialLite la plus proche sur iPhone : comme SocialLite, il masque les Reels et les Shorts, garde les messages privés et peut verrouiller les applis officielles avec Temps d'écran, et le masquage est gratuit. UNDOOMED fonctionne de la même façon sur 7 réseaux, et ScrollGuard passe par une extension Safari. SocialLite reste le plus éprouvé (16 883 notes sur l'App Store américain, 4,7 étoiles, vérifié le 2026-11-04) et propose des notifications push pour Instagram et Snapchat, ce que minulo n'a pas. Je m'appelle Ayumu Kitabayashi et je développe minulo, gardez-le en tête en lisant ce comparatif.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Un cas fréquent
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Un cas fréquent : on utilise SocialLite pour avoir Instagram sans Reels, puis on veut aussi TikTok sans « Pour toi », ou on ne veut pas d'abonnement juste pour masquer des fils. On cherche alors une appli qui marche pareil : les réseaux s'ouvrent dans une vue à part, les vidéos courtes disparaissent et les conversations restent là.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Le comparatif en un tableau
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Appli&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Réseaux&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;DM conservés&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Prix&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;minulo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;10 : Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, Threads, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, LinkedIn, Snapchat&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Oui. Tous les onglets sauf les messages est gratuit pour Instagram et TikTok&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Masquage gratuit. Pro : 9,99 $ par mois ou 39,99 $ par an (États-Unis)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SocialLite&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, X, Reddit et d'autres (TikTok non mentionné)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Oui&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Téléchargement gratuit. Pro de 6,99 à 17,99 $ par mois ou de 19,99 à 47,90 $ par an selon l'offre affichée (États-Unis)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UNDOOMED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;7 : Instagram, Threads, Reddit, Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn (ni TikTok ni Snapchat)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Oui. Le mode Messages Only fait partie de Pro, d'après son site&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Beaucoup de fonctions gratuites. Plus 1,99 $ par mois, Pro 2,99 $ par mois, 17,99 $ par an ou 29,99 $ à vie&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ScrollGuard&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, X, Reddit, LinkedIn sur iPhone, via Safari (d'après son site)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Oui, d'après son site&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Gratuit. Premium ajoute des filtres personnalisés illimités&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Les informations sur les autres applis viennent de leurs fiches App Store et de leurs sites officiels, vérifiés entre fin octobre et début novembre 2026. Les prix et les fonctions peuvent changer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Ce qui change vraiment d'une appli à l'autre
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;La façon de masquer.&lt;/strong&gt; SocialLite, minulo et UNDOOMED ouvrent les réseaux dans leur propre vue et retirent les parties choisies. ScrollGuard est présenté sur l'App Store comme une extension Safari, et son site précise que, sur iPhone, il ne fonctionne pas dans l'app officielle d'Instagram. Si vous voulez rester dans Safari, c'est un bon choix ; si vous voulez une appli à part entière, regardez les trois autres.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Le retour réflexe vers l'app officielle.&lt;/strong&gt; SocialLite et minulo peuvent tous les deux verrouiller les applis officielles. Dans minulo, ça se fait dans l'onglet Blocage, avec Temps d'écran, gratuitement jusqu'à 2 heures par blocage. Si vous touchez l'icône d'Instagram, vous voyez un écran de blocage avec le bouton Ouvrir dans minulo. Attention : tant que l'app officielle est verrouillée, ses notifications n'arrivent pas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Les réseaux.&lt;/strong&gt; minulo est le seul des quatre à citer à la fois TikTok, Threads, Pinterest, LinkedIn et Snapchat. Il existe aussi une app Mac de minulo qui marche dans Safari et Chrome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Là où SocialLite reste devant.&lt;/strong&gt; Les notifications push pour Instagram et Snapchat, et beaucoup plus d'historique et de notes. minulo est sorti en septembre 2026. Si les notifications d'Instagram vous sont indispensables, gardez SocialLite.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Passer de SocialLite à minulo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Installez minulo depuis l'App Store. Il n'y a ni compte ni inscription.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ouvrez Instagram dans minulo et connectez-vous sur la page d'Instagram elle-même.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Touchez la roue dentée à côté d'Instagram et activez Onglets Reels et Explorer. Pour ne garder que les conversations, choisissez plutôt Tous les onglets sauf les messages.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ajoutez YouTube et TikTok avec Ajouter un service. Pour YouTube, activez Masquer la section Shorts et Masquer l'onglet Shorts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Le détail, avec les autres applis du même genre, est sur la page &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/fr/sociallite-alternatives.html?ref=devto-1105-fr" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Alternatives à SocialLite&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Questions fréquentes
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Existe-t-il une alternative gratuite à SocialLite ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Dans minulo, masquer les Reels, les Shorts et les publications suggérées est gratuit, tout comme Tous les onglets sauf les messages. Pro ajoute le Mode sommeil, le Mode strict, la Limite quotidienne et les blocages de plus de 2 heures, et vos 7 premiers jours incluent tout Pro gratuitement. Nope est entièrement gratuit, sans achats intégrés, mais ne marche que dans Safari, sur instagram.com et youtube.com. Les prix de SocialLite sont détaillés ici : &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/fr/is-sociallite-free.html?ref=devto-1105-fr" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;SocialLite est-il gratuit ?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;minulo a-t-il des notifications push comme SocialLite ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Non. SocialLite propose des notifications push pour Instagram et Snapchat, minulo non. Et si vous verrouillez l'app officielle avec minulo, ses notifications n'arrivent pas pendant le blocage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SocialLite fonctionne-t-il avec TikTok ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Sa page App Store ne mentionne pas TikTok. Dans minulo, on ajoute TikTok avec Ajouter un service : « Pour toi » est masqué et les messages continuent de fonctionner. La comparaison point par point est sur &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/fr/minulo-vs-sociallite.html?ref=devto-1105-fr" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo ou SocialLite&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>What changes if you use Instagram in Safari instead of the app on iPhone? (2026)</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2026 03:28:42 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/what-changes-if-you-use-instagram-in-safari-instead-of-the-app-on-iphone-2026-2di6</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/what-changes-if-you-use-instagram-in-safari-instead-of-the-app-on-iphone-2026-2di6</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you delete the Instagram app and use instagram.com in Safari on iPhone, your DMs still work, but the Reels and Explore tabs are still there and Instagram's notifications stop; minulo, an iPhone app, opens the same website with the Reels and Explore tabs and suggested posts hidden for free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm Ayumu Kitabayashi, the developer of minulo, so please read the minulo parts with that in mind. Safari and Home Screen steps come from Apple's iPhone User Guide (checked October 26, 2026). I couldn't open the text of Instagram Help's articles about the website that day, so I say where something couldn't be confirmed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What changes when you switch to Safari
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;DMs:&lt;/strong&gt; they work on the website. About Instagram describes sending a message with &lt;strong&gt;Messages&lt;/strong&gt;, then &lt;strong&gt;Compose&lt;/strong&gt;, choosing people, &lt;strong&gt;Chat&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Send&lt;/strong&gt;. I couldn't confirm in Instagram Help exactly which message features the mobile website in Safari has.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Reels and Explore:&lt;/strong&gt; still there. The website has both tabs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Notifications:&lt;/strong&gt; this is the bigger change. Instagram's notifications come from the official app, so without it you don't get them. Apple says some websites ask for permission to send notifications when you add them to the Home Screen; I couldn't confirm whether instagram.com does this on iPhone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Your account:&lt;/strong&gt; it stays. Apple's guide says deleting an app removes it and its data from your iPhone, not your Instagram account or DMs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Steps: delete the app and use Safari
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Touch and hold Instagram on the Home Screen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap &lt;strong&gt;Remove App&lt;/strong&gt;, then &lt;strong&gt;Delete App&lt;/strong&gt;, then &lt;strong&gt;Delete&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open instagram.com in Safari and log in.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Optional: tap the page menu button, then &lt;strong&gt;Share&lt;/strong&gt; (or the Share button if your Tabs layout is Bottom or Top), tap &lt;strong&gt;Add to Home Screen&lt;/strong&gt;, turn on &lt;strong&gt;Open as Web App&lt;/strong&gt; and tap &lt;strong&gt;Add&lt;/strong&gt;. It is still the same website, Reels and Explore included.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The catch: the app is back in a minute if you download it again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Steps: hide Reels in Safari with an extension
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Safari, tap the page menu button, then &lt;strong&gt;Manage Extensions&lt;/strong&gt;, then &lt;strong&gt;Browse Extensions&lt;/strong&gt;, and tap &lt;strong&gt;Get&lt;/strong&gt; on the one you want.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Apps&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Safari&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Extensions&lt;/strong&gt;, tap the extension and turn on &lt;strong&gt;Allow Extension&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nope is free with no subscriptions, in-app purchases or ads, per its App Store page. It hides Reels, Shorts, Explore, Stories and autoplay on instagram.com and youtube.com, and needs iOS 17 or later. ScrollGuard is free with Pro in-app purchases, and its 1.2.1 release notes add an Instagram DMs only mode. Both work only in Safari. I couldn't confirm whether extensions also run when a site opens as a web app.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Steps: use the website without Reels in minulo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install minulo and open Instagram inside it. Log in on Instagram's own login page; minulo does not receive or store your password.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap the gear next to Instagram and turn on the &lt;strong&gt;Reels and Explore tabs&lt;/strong&gt; switch and hiding suggested posts, or turn on &lt;strong&gt;Every tab but DMs&lt;/strong&gt; to keep only messages. This is free.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Optional: you don't need to delete the official app. In the &lt;strong&gt;Block&lt;/strong&gt; tab, lock it with Screen Time, free for up to 2 hours per block. &lt;strong&gt;Open in minulo&lt;/strong&gt; on its block screen takes you to Instagram without Reels.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Comparison
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Option&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;DMs&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Reels and Explore&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Catch&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Instagram app as is&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Yes&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Always there&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Adult accounts have no setting that hides the Reels tab&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;instagram.com in Safari&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Yes&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Still there&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;No notifications from the app&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Safari with Nope&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Not mentioned on its App Store page&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Hidden in Safari&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Free. Safari only&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Safari with ScrollGuard&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;DMs only mode (1.2.1)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Hidden in Safari&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Pro in-app purchases. Safari only&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;minulo&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Yes. Every tab but DMs leaves only DMs&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Tabs and suggested posts hidden&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Free. Only inside minulo. No voice messages or calls&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Honest limits
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reels are hidden only inside minulo. The official app doesn't change.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;While minulo blocks an official app, that app's notifications don't arrive, and minulo sends none of its own. If you rely on DM alerts, keep the app unlocked.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Posting Stories, voice messages and calls aren't available, because the website doesn't have them. On Instagram, the Reels and Explore tabs share one switch.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;minulo runs on iPhone and Mac, not Android, and it is new, with few ratings.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hiding is free. Pro ($9.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US, first 7 days free) adds Sleep mode (one bedtime and wake time every day), Hard Mode, a Daily limit and blocks longer than 2 hours.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  FAQ
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do Reels go away if I delete the Instagram app?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
No. Deleting the app removes only the app; the website has the Reels and Explore tabs too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will I get DM notifications without the app?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Not from the app, because Instagram's notifications come from it. I couldn't confirm whether instagram.com asks to send notifications on iPhone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is minulo the same as using Instagram in Safari?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It uses the same website, so DMs, posting photos and comments work, and voice messages and calls aren't available. The difference is that minulo hides Reels, Explore and suggested posts, and it can lock the official app so you don't have to delete it.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How long does hiding the Shorts shelf last on YouTube for iPhone? (2026)</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Tapping the X on YouTube's Shorts shelf hides it for about 30 days, according to news reports, and to keep both the Shorts shelf and the Shorts tab hidden until you change the setting, minulo, an iPhone app, hides them for free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm Ayumu Kitabayashi, the developer of minulo, so please read the minulo parts with that in mind. Facts about YouTube come from YouTube Help (checked October 26, 2026). YouTube Help doesn't describe the X on the shelf at all, so for that part I name the article that says each thing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The short answer
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The X on the shelf:&lt;/strong&gt; about 30 days. SlashGear and GeekChamp quote YouTube's message as "Shelf will be hidden for 30 days". After that, the shelf comes back and you tap the X again.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Show fewer Shorts and Not interested:&lt;/strong&gt; YouTube's help gives no period for either. It describes them as feedback that tunes your recommendations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What the X doesn't touch:&lt;/strong&gt; Shorts stay in the Shorts tab, search results, Subscriptions, channel pages and notifications. GeekChamp adds that Shorts still open from links people send you.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why you might not see the X
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The X isn't on every screen. SlashGear (2023) found it on the mobile website and the desktop site. tbreak (April 2026) found it on the mobile website only, and both say it isn't in the app. GeekChamp (May 2026) says it does appear in the app for some accounts, depending on account, region and app version. I couldn't confirm any of this in YouTube Help, so check your own Home screen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Hide the shelf with the X
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open YouTube and go to &lt;strong&gt;Home&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Scroll to the Shorts shelf.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If there is an X at the top right of the shelf, tap it. According to the reports, a message says the shelf will be hidden for 30 days.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No X? Tap &lt;strong&gt;More&lt;/strong&gt; at the top of the Shorts grid and choose &lt;strong&gt;Show fewer Shorts&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To undo Show fewer Shorts, go to &lt;strong&gt;My Activity&lt;/strong&gt;, select &lt;strong&gt;Other activity&lt;/strong&gt;, and under Show fewer Shorts select &lt;strong&gt;Delete&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Keep the shelf hidden in minulo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install minulo, tap &lt;strong&gt;Add a service&lt;/strong&gt; on the home screen and choose YouTube.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap the gear next to YouTube and turn on &lt;strong&gt;Hide the Shorts shelf&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Hide the Shorts tab&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Send Shorts links to the normal player&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Watch normal videos, search, Subscriptions and Watch later from the minulo home screen as usual.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Optional: in the &lt;strong&gt;Block&lt;/strong&gt; tab, lock the official YouTube app with Screen Time, free for up to 2 hours per block. Tapping its icon shows a block screen, and &lt;strong&gt;Open in minulo&lt;/strong&gt; takes you to YouTube without Shorts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hiding is a setting, so unlike the X it doesn't come back after 30 days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;

&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Method&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;What it hides&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;How long&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Where Shorts stay&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;X on the Shorts shelf&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;The shelf on Home&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;About 30 days (reported, not in YouTube Help)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shorts tab, search, Subscriptions, channel pages, notifications&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Show fewer Shorts&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Feedback: fewer Shorts on Home&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;No period given. Undo in My Activity&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Everywhere, Home included&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shorts feed limit set to 0&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;A limit screen in the Shorts feed&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Adults can dismiss it&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;YouTube's help covers the Shorts feed only&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;minulo&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shorts shelf and Shorts tab; Shorts links open in the normal player&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Until you change the setting&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Hidden only inside minulo. The official app doesn't change&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  A common case
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A common case: you tap the X before a study session, the shelf disappears, and a month later it is back on Home. Or the shelf is gone, but the Shorts tab is still at the bottom of the screen and one tap opens the feed. Those are the two gaps the X leaves, and they are what the two minulo switches cover.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Honest limits
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;minulo can't change the official YouTube app. Shorts are hidden only when you open YouTube inside minulo.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;While minulo blocks an official app, that app's notifications don't arrive, and minulo sends none of its own.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;minulo runs on iPhone and Mac, not Android, and there is no iPad version. It is new, with few ratings.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hiding and blocks of up to 2 hours are free. minulo Pro ($9.99 a month or $39.99 a year on the US App Store, with the first 7 days free) adds Sleep mode (one bedtime and wake time that apply every day), Hard Mode, a Daily limit and blocks longer than 2 hours.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;More detail, with sources, is in &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/youtube-hide-shorts-shelf.html?ref=devto-1105b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;the Shorts shelf guide&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/is-minulo-free.html?ref=devto-1105b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;what's free and what Pro adds&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/minulo-limitations.html?ref=devto-1105b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;what minulo can't do&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  FAQ
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is the 30 days official?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Not as far as I can find. SlashGear and GeekChamp quote the message YouTube shows, but YouTube's help doesn't mention the X or a period, so treat 30 days as reported.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does the Shorts feed limit remove the Shorts shelf?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
YouTube's help describes it as a limit for the Shorts feed: at 0 minutes a limit screen appears, and adults can dismiss it. It doesn't say the shelf on Home goes away.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I hide the Shorts shelf for good?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I found no permanent switch in YouTube's help. minulo hides the shelf and the Shorts tab for free and keeps them hidden until you change the setting, though only inside minulo.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Downtime blocked WhatsApp too: how to stop only Instagram at night on iPhone (2026)</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2026 07:28:05 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/downtime-blocked-whatsapp-too-how-to-stop-only-instagram-at-night-on-iphone-2026-4phb</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/downtime-blocked-whatsapp-too-how-to-stop-only-instagram-at-night-on-iphone-2026-4phb</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;minulo can lock just the official Instagram app with Screen Time, up to 2 hours per block for free, while WhatsApp stays open, and if you open Instagram inside minulo, Reels are hidden and your DMs stay. I'm the developer of minulo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Apple's steps and the other options side by side: &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/downtime-block-instagram-keep-whatsapp.html?ref=devto-1104c" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;How to block only Instagram during Downtime and keep WhatsApp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A common case: you set Downtime for 11:30 pm so you stop scrolling Reels in bed, and the next morning you find you missed a message in the family WhatsApp group. Downtime had stopped WhatsApp too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why Downtime stops your chat app
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Apple's guide says that during downtime, only calls, messages and apps you choose to allow are available. WhatsApp is an app like any other, so unless you allow it, it goes dark with Instagram.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Keep WhatsApp, stop Instagram (iOS 26)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt; › &lt;strong&gt;Screen Time&lt;/strong&gt; › &lt;strong&gt;Always Allowed&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Under &lt;strong&gt;Choose Apps&lt;/strong&gt;, add WhatsApp and anything else you need at night.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Check that Instagram isn't in &lt;strong&gt;Allowed Apps&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go back to &lt;strong&gt;Downtime&lt;/strong&gt;, turn on &lt;strong&gt;Scheduled&lt;/strong&gt; and set the times.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Turn on &lt;strong&gt;Block at Downtime&lt;/strong&gt;. Apple says you need a Screen Time passcode for this.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Without Block at Downtime you only get a reminder, and Instagram keeps opening. On iOS 27, Apple's guide describes &lt;strong&gt;Screen Time Schedules&lt;/strong&gt; instead, which work by category. Adding WhatsApp to Always Allowed is the safe way there too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Doing it with minulo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In minulo, tap &lt;strong&gt;Add a service&lt;/strong&gt;, choose Instagram and sign in on Instagram's own page.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap the gear and turn on &lt;strong&gt;Every tab but DMs&lt;/strong&gt;. Only DMs and the notifications tab stay. This is free.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On the &lt;strong&gt;Block&lt;/strong&gt; tab, pick only the official Instagram app. One lock lasts up to 2 hours for free.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;With minulo Pro, a schedule starts the lock every night on its own (&lt;strong&gt;Sleep mode&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One catch: while minulo is locking the official Instagram app, its notifications don't arrive, so you check DMs inside minulo. WhatsApp isn't touched either way.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Is there an app to stop scrolling Reels and Shorts at night on iPhone? (2026)</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2026 07:00:08 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/is-there-an-app-to-stop-scrolling-reels-and-shorts-at-night-on-iphone-2026-579m</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/is-there-an-app-to-stop-scrolling-reels-and-shorts-at-night-on-iphone-2026-579m</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The built-in way is iPhone Downtime with Block at Downtime (Screen Time Schedule on iOS 27), which stops Instagram, TikTok and YouTube from opening at night. Where it falls short is that it blocks whole apps, so Instagram DMs and normal YouTube videos go too, and the in-app options (YouTube's Shorts feed limit, Instagram's Sleep mode) can be dismissed or don't hide anything. The app I built for this is &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/stop-doomscrolling-at-night.html?ref=devto-1104b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo&lt;/a&gt;: Instagram and YouTube open inside it with Reels and Shorts hidden for free while DMs and normal videos keep working, and it can lock the official apps at bedtime.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm Ayumu Kitabayashi, the developer of minulo, so weigh the minulo parts accordingly. The iPhone steps come from Apple's iPhone User Guide (iOS 26 and iOS 27). Menu names can change with updates.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In minulo's own anonymous usage data, most social media sessions happen between 8 pm and 1 am (Japan time, where most of the data comes from), usually starting with one tap on Instagram or YouTube in bed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Built-in settings for the night
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Schedule Downtime.&lt;/strong&gt; Go to Settings &amp;gt; Screen Time &amp;gt; App &amp;amp; Website Activity and turn it on. Tap Downtime &amp;gt; Scheduled, choose Every Day or Customize Days, and set times such as 11 PM to 7 AM.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Make it stick.&lt;/strong&gt; Set a Screen Time passcode, then turn on &lt;strong&gt;Block at Downtime&lt;/strong&gt;. Without it you get a reminder and can keep using the apps. Apple's iOS 27 user guide doesn't list Block at Downtime.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;On iOS 27&lt;/strong&gt;, use Settings &amp;gt; Screen Time &amp;gt; Screen Time Schedule instead: turn on Schedule, tap Add Schedule, make a night window and choose which Time Allowance categories are available in it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Check Always Allowed.&lt;/strong&gt; Anything listed in Settings &amp;gt; Screen Time &amp;gt; Always Allowed stays open during Downtime.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Let Sleep Focus start early.&lt;/strong&gt; In the Health app, tap Browse &amp;gt; Sleep and set a sleep schedule with wind down. Sleep Focus filters notifications but doesn't block apps.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Turn down the apps themselves.&lt;/strong&gt; In YouTube, set the Shorts feed limit to 0 (You &amp;gt; Settings &amp;gt; Time management &amp;gt; Shorts feed limit) and turn on the bedtime reminder (profile picture &amp;gt; Settings &amp;gt; General &amp;gt; Remind me when it's bedtime). In Instagram, Sleep mode mutes notifications and auto-replies to DMs. All of these are free, but you can dismiss the YouTube ones, and Sleep mode doesn't hide Reels.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Keep DMs at night but drop Reels and Shorts with minulo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install minulo and add Instagram and YouTube with &lt;strong&gt;Add a service&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap the gear next to each and hide Reels and Shorts. For YouTube, turn on &lt;strong&gt;Hide the Shorts shelf&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Hide the Shorts tab&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Send Shorts links to the normal player&lt;/strong&gt;. This is free, and DMs and normal videos stay.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When you get into bed, lock the official Instagram and YouTube apps in the &lt;strong&gt;Block&lt;/strong&gt; tab with Screen Time. A free block lasts up to 2 hours. If you tap the Instagram icon out of habit, a block screen appears, and &lt;strong&gt;Open in minulo&lt;/strong&gt; takes you to Instagram without Reels.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you also use Downtime, add minulo to Always Allowed so it stays open for messages.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With minulo Pro ($9.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US), Sleep mode turns on by itself every night at your bedtime, and during it social media won't open even in minulo. You pick the apps you still need at night and can skip a single night. Pro also adds blocks longer than 2 hours and Hard Mode.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;

&lt;td&gt;Only apps in Always Allowed. Instagram DMs are blocked too&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Free&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Safari extension (for example Nope)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Reels and Shorts on instagram.com and youtube.com in Safari&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Everything else, but only in Safari, and nothing is tied to the night&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Nope is free; others are paid or a subscription&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;minulo&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Reels, Shorts and suggested posts inside minulo; official apps locked at bedtime&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;DMs and normal videos inside minulo&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Hiding and 2-hour blocks are free; nightly schedule is Pro&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Limits of minulo, honestly: it can't change the official apps, so Reels and Shorts are hidden only inside minulo. While an official app is blocked its notifications don't arrive, and minulo sends none of its own. Posting Stories, voice messages and calls aren't available. It runs on iPhone and Mac, not Android or iPad.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  FAQ
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does Sleep Focus block Instagram or TikTok?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
No. It filters notifications and calls, but apps still open. Use Downtime with Block at Downtime, or a lock in minulo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I block Instagram at night but still get DMs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Not with Screen Time alone, because it blocks the whole app. In minulo you can open Instagram with Reels hidden and lock the official app at night. While the official app is locked, its notifications don't arrive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I turn off YouTube Shorts only at night?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
YouTube's help describes no Shorts setting tied to a time of day. The Shorts feed limit applies all day and can be dismissed. In minulo, Shorts are hidden for free at any hour. More in &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/stop-youtube-shorts-at-night.html?ref=devto-1104b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;settings that stop YouTube Shorts at night&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there a free way to stop scrolling before bed?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Yes. Downtime, Sleep Focus, YouTube's Shorts feed limit and Instagram's Sleep mode are free, and so are hiding Reels and Shorts and 2-hour blocks in minulo. For a block that starts by itself every night, see &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/lock-apps-automatically-at-night.html?ref=devto-1104b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;how to lock apps automatically at night&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/stop-scrolling-reels-at-night.html?ref=devto-1104b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;how to stop scrolling Instagram Reels at night&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How do I hide YouTube Shorts on iPhone but keep normal videos, for free? (2026)</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2026 06:56:30 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/how-do-i-hide-youtube-shorts-on-iphone-but-keep-normal-videos-for-free-2026-46l5</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/how-do-i-hide-youtube-shorts-on-iphone-but-keep-normal-videos-for-free-2026-46l5</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The free built-in way is YouTube's Shorts feed limit: since April 2026 you can set it to 0 minutes in the YouTube app under You &amp;gt; Settings &amp;gt; Time management &amp;gt; Shorts feed limit. It falls short in three places: an adult account can dismiss the limit, news reports say Shorts still show in Subscriptions and can turn up in search, and a single Short opened from a link still plays. To hide the Shorts shelf and the Shorts tab while normal videos, search and subscriptions keep working, open YouTube in &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/free-youtube-shorts-blocker.html?ref=devto-1104b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;minulo&lt;/a&gt;, where hiding Shorts is free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm Ayumu Kitabayashi, the developer of minulo, so read the minulo parts with that in mind. Everything about YouTube below comes from YouTube Help and the news reports listed on our pages. Menu names can change with app updates.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Set the Shorts feed limit to 0 (built-in, free)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sign in to the YouTube app.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap the &lt;strong&gt;You&lt;/strong&gt; tab, then &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap &lt;strong&gt;Time management&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap &lt;strong&gt;Shorts feed limit&lt;/strong&gt; and choose &lt;strong&gt;0&lt;/strong&gt; from the list.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Optional: on Home, scroll to a grid of Shorts, tap &lt;strong&gt;More&lt;/strong&gt; at the top of the grid and choose &lt;strong&gt;Show fewer Shorts&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you reach the limit, YouTube shows a reminder. In the words of YouTube's help, you are then "prompted with an option to dismiss or ignore your set limit." So on an adult account it is a reminder, not a lock. Engadget quotes the app's own message: "Scrolling is paused but you may still see individual Shorts."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The help page also leaves two things out. It only talks about the Shorts feed, and doesn't say whether the limit applies to Shorts on Home, in search results, on channel pages or in Subscriptions. And it gives steps for the YouTube app only, not for youtube.com in a browser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Show fewer Shorts" is feedback, not a switch. YouTube gives no period for it, and you can undo it in My Activity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Hide Shorts in minulo and keep normal videos
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;minulo is an iPhone app (there is also a Mac app) that opens YouTube's website inside the app, with the parts you choose hidden.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install minulo from the App Store, tap &lt;strong&gt;Add a service&lt;/strong&gt; on the home screen and choose &lt;strong&gt;YouTube&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap the gear next to YouTube and turn on &lt;strong&gt;Hide the Shorts shelf&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Hide the Shorts tab&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Send Shorts links to the normal player&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Watch normal videos, search, Subscriptions and Watch later in minulo as usual.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Optional: in the &lt;strong&gt;Block&lt;/strong&gt; tab, lock the official YouTube app with Screen Time. Tapping its icon then shows a block screen, and &lt;strong&gt;Open in minulo&lt;/strong&gt; takes you to YouTube without Shorts. This is free for up to 2 hours per block.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hiding is a setting, so it stays on until you change it, and there is no reminder to tap past. Pro ($9.99 a month or $39.99 a year in the US) adds schedules by day and time, blocks longer than 2 hours and Hard Mode. You don't need Pro to hide Shorts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Comparison
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="table-wrapper-paragraph"&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Option&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;What's hidden&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;What stays&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;th&gt;Cost&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shorts feed limit at 0 (YouTube app)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;A limit screen appears in the Shorts feed&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Normal videos. Adults can dismiss the limit; Shorts in Subscriptions, search and links remain&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Free&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;iPhone Screen Time&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;The whole YouTube app&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Nothing in the app. Normal videos are blocked too&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Free&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Safari extension (for example Nope)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shorts on youtube.com in Safari&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Normal videos, in Safari only. The official app is unchanged&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Nope is free; most others are paid or a subscription&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;minulo&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Shorts shelf and Shorts tab; Shorts links open in the normal player&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Normal videos, search, Subscriptions and Watch later, inside minulo&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Hiding is free; Pro is paid&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The honest limits of minulo: on iPhone no app can change what another app shows, so Shorts are hidden only inside minulo. While minulo blocks the official YouTube app, YouTube notifications don't arrive, and minulo sends none of its own. There is no iPad or Android version, and the app is new, with few ratings. If you'd rather compare every option first, see &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/block-youtube-shorts.html?ref=devto-1104b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;every way to block YouTube Shorts on iPhone&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  FAQ
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If I set the Shorts limit to 0, do all Shorts disappear?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
No. YouTube's help only names the Shorts feed, and you can dismiss the limit. News reports from April 2026 say Shorts still show in Subscriptions, can turn up in search, and a single Short opened from a link still plays. More detail in &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/youtube-shorts-feed-limit.html?ref=devto-1104b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;the Shorts feed limit explained&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there a switch in YouTube that turns Shorts off?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Not on an adult account. We found no such setting in YouTube Help. The built-in options lower Shorts rather than remove them. See &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/en/can-you-turn-off-youtube-shorts.html?ref=devto-1104b" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;can you turn off YouTube Shorts?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can any app remove Shorts from the official YouTube app?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
No. On iPhone no app can change what another app shows. minulo can lock the official app with Screen Time and send you to its own view of YouTube, where Shorts are hidden.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is Screen Time a good free option?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It is the strictest free option, especially with a passcode someone else sets, but it blocks the whole YouTube app, including the normal videos you wanted to watch.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>睡前一直滑 Reels 和 Shorts 怎麼辦？在 iPhone 上戒掉的 App，私訊照常能用（2026）</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>

      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/shui-qian-zhi-hua-reels-he-shorts-zen-mo-ban-zai-iphone-shang-jie-diao-de-appsi-xun-zhao-chang-neng-yong-2026-2dad</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/shui-qian-zhi-hua-reels-he-shorts-zen-mo-ban-zai-iphone-shang-jie-diao-de-appsi-xun-zhao-chang-neng-yong-2026-2dad</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;睡前一直滑 Reels 和 Shorts，可以用 minulo 這個 iPhone App 戒掉：隱藏 Reels 和 Shorts 是免費的，Pro 則要付費（每晚自動封鎖之類的功能在 Pro 裡）。我是 minulo 的開發者，下面以開發者的角度說明，也會把做不到的地方寫清楚。&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;iPhone 內建功能也一起比較的頁面：&lt;a href="https://minulo.app/zh-Hant/stop-doomscrolling-at-night.html?ref=devto-1104a" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;睡前一直滑 Reels 和 Shorts 怎麼辦？&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  iPhone 和各 App 本身能做到的事
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;「停用時間」&lt;/strong&gt;（「設定」›「螢幕使用時間」›「停用時間」›「已排程」；iOS 27 是「螢幕使用時間排程」）。設定「螢幕使用時間」密碼並開啟「停用期間阻擋」，晚上 App 就打不開。但它擋的是整個 App，Instagram 的私訊也一起擋掉。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;「睡眠專注模式」&lt;/strong&gt;會過濾通知和來電，但不會封鎖 App，在「控制中心」就能關掉。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;把 YouTube 的「Shorts 動態限制」設為 0&lt;/strong&gt;（YouTube App：「個人中心」›「設定」›「時間管理」）。成人可以忽略限制。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Instagram 的睡眠模式&lt;/strong&gt;會把通知設為靜音並自動回覆私訊，但打開 App 的話，Reels 還是在。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;也就是說，內建的方法不是連私訊一起全擋，就是只讓通知靜音。&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  補習班下課，十點半到家
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;高三下學期，補習班九點半下課，到家洗完澡已經十點半。想說打開 Instagram 回一下朋友的私訊，結果第一支 Reels 就自己播了起來。換到 YouTube，又是一支接一支的 Shorts。回過神來已經一點多，明天七點半還要早自習。&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;朋友的私訊晚上還是得看，所以沒辦法用「停用時間」整個擋掉。&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  在 minulo 裡怎麼設定
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;安裝 minulo，點「新增服務」，加入 Instagram 和 YouTube。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;點各自旁邊的齒輪，Instagram 開啟「隱藏 Reels 分頁」和「隱藏探索分頁」，YouTube 開啟「隱藏 Shorts 區塊」和「隱藏下方的 Shorts 分頁」。這些都免費，私訊和一般影片會留著。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;上床時，在「封鎖」分頁用「螢幕使用時間」鎖定官方的 Instagram 和 YouTube App。免費版每次最多 2 小時。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;如果習慣性點了 Instagram 圖示，會出現封鎖畫面，按「在 minulo 中開啟」就會進到沒有 Reels 的 Instagram，私訊照樣能回。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;想每天晚上自動鎖定，可以用 Pro 的「睡眠模式」，或 iPhone 的「停用時間」加上「停用期間阻擋」（私訊也會被擋）。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  做不到的地方
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reels 和 Shorts 只有在 minulo 裡會隱藏，官方 App 本身不會變，所以才有第 3 步。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;官方 App 被封鎖時，收不到它的通知。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;超過 2 小時的封鎖、排程和嚴格模式屬於 Pro。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;目前還沒有 Android 版。&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Aplikasi untuk berhenti scroll Reels dan Shorts di malam hari di iPhone, DM tetap bisa dibuka (2026)</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2026 02:07:25 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/aplikasi-untuk-berhenti-scroll-reels-dan-shorts-di-malam-hari-di-iphone-dm-tetap-bisa-dibuka-2026-3ojl</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/aplikasi-untuk-berhenti-scroll-reels-dan-shorts-di-malam-hari-di-iphone-dm-tetap-bisa-dibuka-2026-3ojl</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Aplikasi untuk berhenti scroll Reels dan Shorts di malam hari di iPhone tanpa kehilangan DM adalah minulo: menyembunyikan Reels dan Shorts gratis, sedangkan Pro berbayar (fitur kunci otomatis setiap malam ada di Pro). Saya pengembang minulo, jadi saya jelaskan dari sisi pembuatnya, termasuk batasannya.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Semua cara dibandingkan, termasuk fitur bawaan iPhone: &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/id/stop-doomscrolling-at-night.html?ref=devto-1104a" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Cara berhenti scroll Reels dan Shorts di malam hari di iPhone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Yang bisa dilakukan iPhone dan aplikasinya sendiri
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Waktu Henti&lt;/strong&gt; (Pengaturan › Durasi Layar › Waktu Henti › Dijadwalkan; di iOS 27 namanya Jadwal Durasi Layar). Dengan kode sandi Durasi Layar dan Blokir saat Waktu Henti, aplikasi tidak bisa dibuka di malam hari. Tapi yang diblokir adalah seluruh aplikasi, jadi DM Instagram juga ikut terblokir.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Fokus Tidur&lt;/strong&gt; menyaring notifikasi dan panggilan, tapi tidak memblokir aplikasi. Bisa dimatikan dari Pusat Kontrol.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Batas feed Shorts YouTube disetel ke 0&lt;/strong&gt; (YouTube: Anda › Setelan › Pengelolaan waktu › Batas feed Shorts). Pengguna dewasa bisa melewati batas ini.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Mode tidur Instagram&lt;/strong&gt; membisukan notifikasi dan membalas DM secara otomatis, tapi Reels tetap ada kalau aplikasinya dibuka.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jadi pilihannya cuma dua: blokir semuanya termasuk DM, atau cuma membisukan notifikasi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Minggu UTS, di kamar kos
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Minggu UTS, kuliah jam 7 pagi, dan kamu baru selesai merangkum materi jam 11 malam di kamar kos. Buka Instagram sebentar buat cek DM, eh malah keterusan nonton Reels. Pindah ke YouTube, lanjut Shorts. Tahu-tahu sudah jam 1.30, padahal besok masih harus berangkat pagi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DM dari teman memang perlu dicek malam-malam. Yang tidak perlu itu Reels-nya.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Cara mengaturnya di minulo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pasang minulo, ketuk &lt;strong&gt;Tambah layanan&lt;/strong&gt;, lalu tambahkan Instagram dan YouTube.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ketuk ikon roda gigi di samping masing-masing, lalu nyalakan &lt;strong&gt;Sembunyikan tab Reels&lt;/strong&gt; dan &lt;strong&gt;Sembunyikan Jelajahi&lt;/strong&gt; di Instagram, serta &lt;strong&gt;Sembunyikan rak Shorts&lt;/strong&gt; dan &lt;strong&gt;Sembunyikan tab Shorts&lt;/strong&gt; di YouTube. Ini gratis, dan DM serta video biasa tetap ada.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Saat mau tidur, kunci aplikasi resmi Instagram dan YouTube lewat Durasi Layar di tab &lt;strong&gt;Blokir&lt;/strong&gt;. Di versi gratis, sekali blokir maksimal 2 jam.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Kalau kamu mengetuk ikon Instagram karena kebiasaan, yang muncul layar blokir. Ketuk &lt;strong&gt;Buka di minulo&lt;/strong&gt; untuk masuk ke Instagram tanpa Reels, dan DM tetap bisa dibalas di sana.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Supaya terkunci otomatis setiap malam, pakai &lt;strong&gt;Mode tidur&lt;/strong&gt; di Pro, atau Waktu Henti iPhone dengan Blokir saat Waktu Henti (DM juga ikut terblokir).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Yang tidak bisa dilakukan
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reels dan Shorts hanya hilang di dalam minulo. Aplikasi resminya tidak berubah, makanya perlu langkah 3.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Selama aplikasi resmi diblokir, notifikasinya tidak masuk.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Blokir lebih dari 2 jam, jadwal, dan Mode Ketat ada di Pro.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Versi Android belum ada.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>L'app per togliere gli Shorts di YouTube su iPhone e continuare a guardare i video normali (2026)</title>
      <dc:creator>ayumu kitabayashi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2026 01:59:28 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/lapp-per-togliere-gli-shorts-di-youtube-su-iphone-e-continuare-a-guardare-i-video-normali-2026-4fi5</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ayumu_kitabayashi_8e0de96/lapp-per-togliere-gli-shorts-di-youtube-su-iphone-e-continuare-a-guardare-i-video-normali-2026-4fi5</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;L'app per togliere gli Shorts di YouTube su iPhone e continuare a guardare i video normali è minulo: nascondere gli Shorts è gratis, e Pro è a pagamento, ma per questo non serve. Sono lo sviluppatore di minulo, quindi te lo spiego da chi l'ha fatta, limiti compresi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tutti i metodi a confronto, anche quelli di YouTube e dell'iPhone: &lt;a href="https://minulo.app/it/block-youtube-shorts.html?ref=devto-1104a" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Come togliere gli Shorts di YouTube su iPhone e continuare a guardare i video normali&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Cosa offrono YouTube e l'iPhone
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YouTube non ha un'impostazione che tolga solo gli Shorts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Limite del feed Shorts a 0&lt;/strong&gt; (Tu → Impostazioni → Gestione del tempo). Un adulto può ignorare il limite, e gli Shorts in Iscrizioni e quelli che arrivano da un link restano.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Mostra meno Shorts&lt;/strong&gt; (⋮ sulla sezione Shorts). Nasconde quella sezione, ma YouTube non dice per quanto tempo, e gli Shorts possono tornare.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Tempo di utilizzo&lt;/strong&gt; può limitare o bloccare tutta l'app YouTube, non solo gli Shorts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In pratica scegli tra un promemoria che chiudi con un tocco e restare senza YouTube del tutto.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Il TOLC tra un mese
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ti stai preparando per il TOLC e un canale spiega gli esercizi di logica uno per uno. Metti in pausa il video al minuto 8 per provare un quesito da solo, e quando torni sotto c'è la sezione Shorts. Uno su un compito in classe finito male, poi uno di cucina, e il quesito resta lì sul quaderno senza risposta.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Il video di logica ti serviva. La sezione sotto, no.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Come si imposta in minulo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Installa minulo, tocca &lt;strong&gt;Aggiungi un servizio&lt;/strong&gt; nella Home e scegli YouTube.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tocca l'ingranaggio accanto a YouTube e attiva &lt;strong&gt;Nascondi la sezione Shorts&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Nascondi la scheda Shorts&lt;/strong&gt; e &lt;strong&gt;Apri i link Shorts nel player normale&lt;/strong&gt;. È gratis.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ricerca, Iscrizioni e video normali funzionano come sempre. Se tocchi un link Shorts dentro minulo, si apre nel player normale, non nel feed da scorrere.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Se vuoi, nella scheda &lt;strong&gt;Blocco&lt;/strong&gt; blocca l'app ufficiale di YouTube con Tempo di utilizzo, gratis fino a 2 ore per blocco. Se tocchi la sua icona compare una schermata di blocco, e &lt;strong&gt;Apri in minulo&lt;/strong&gt; ti porta su YouTube senza Shorts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Cosa non fa
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gli Shorts spariscono solo dentro minulo. L'app ufficiale di YouTube non cambia, ed è per questo che c'è il passo 4.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Finché l'app ufficiale è bloccata, le sue notifiche non arrivano.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Non c'è ancora una versione per Android.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
