Get ReelmuteWhy the settings you already tried gave it back
Every network handles this the same way, and none of them hands you an off switch. Instagram has no Reels setting at all. Facebook lets you hide the tab while the feed keeps delivering. YouTube has offered controls that expire. Instagram will snooze suggested posts for 30 days. TikTok will reset For You and then refill it. They are all doing the same thing, which is giving you a quieter version of the feed instead of a way out of it. Reelmute takes the feed out on the way in, once, across all six.
What Reelmute removes
Reels, Shorts, For You, Explore, Popular — already gone the moment each network opens in Reelmute. DMs, profiles, posts and search keep working.
Reelmute opens each network in its own space and strips the feed out before the page draws, so there is nothing to switch on again tomorrow. Shield the native app with Screen Time and this becomes the way in.
