Full description
BackToLife Feed removes Reels, Shorts, For You and infinite scroll from Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and X, plus ads on Instagram and YouTube. You keep your chats, your friends and the accounts you choose, without what's designed to hook you. Looking for an app to remove Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or TikTok's For You feed without deleting your social media? BackToLife Feed is built for exactly that. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT App blockers take away the whole app. BackToLife Feed only removes what hooks you: you open your social media, do what you meant to do and leave. HOW IT WORKS BackToLife Feed doesn't modify the official apps. It opens the web version of each network inside the app and applies the filters you choose. AVAILABLE FILTERS INSTAGRAM Hide the Reels tab (always on) Hide Reels in the feed Hide AI posts Hide stories Hide likes and comments Hide notifications Hide Explore Hide ads Hide suggestions DMs only Autoplay off YOUTUBE Hide Shorts (always on) Hide comments Hide ads Hide subscriptions Hide home TIKTOK Hide For You (always on) Hide notifications Messages only Search only Autoplay off X Hide Following Hide notifications Hide DMs Hide For You Hide Grok Autoplay off ON EVERY NETWORK Usage timer Unlock code Custom icon STRICT SCHEDULE Choose time blocks when your settings stay locked, for example from 9:00 to 23:00. During that time you can't turn the filters off. Outside it, you have full control again. STREAK Every day you keep your strict schedule adds one day to your streak. If you turn filters off during locked hours, it resets to zero. TIME METRICS See how much time you spend on each network: daily, weekly and monthly. ARE YOU A PARENT? Install BackToLife Feed on your child's phone and BackToLife Parent on yours. From your phone you choose which networks they get, the filters and the schedules, and they can't turn them off. More at backtolife.site PRIVACY Minimal data collection Local storage whenever possible No ads No selling or sharing your data with third parties Anonymous analytics to improve the app Accessibility permission BackToLife Feed uses Android's Accessibility Service, with your explicit consent, to show a block screen when you open an app you've chosen to block and, when a parent is linked, to stop the app from being switched off or uninstalled without the parent's passcode. It doesn't collect or share personal data, doesn't read the content of other apps, doesn't record audio and doesn't change your settings. You can turn it off anytime in your device's Accessibility settings, unless parent protection is active.
