Get ReelmuteWhat Facebook's own controls do
Facebook gives you three levers, and each one gives a little ground back. You can hide the Reels tab from the tab bar, which takes the button away but not the Reels that arrive in your feed. You can tap a Reel and ask for fewer like it, which is a vote the ranking counts rather than a switch it obeys. And you can stop videos autoplaying, which keeps them quiet without keeping them away. Put all three together and Reels get rarer. None of them takes Reels off Facebook, which is why the search that brought you here is one of the most repeated on the internet.
What Reelmute removes from Facebook
Reels and endless feed video — already gone the moment Facebook opens in Reelmute. Stories, Suggested posts and ads go too, whenever you want them gone. 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.
Questions
- Can you permanently remove Reels from Facebook?
- Inside Reelmute, yes. Facebook has no setting that removes Reels, so Reelmute removes them on the way in: Facebook opens in Reelmute with Reels and endless feed video already stripped out, every session, without you setting it again.
- Do I lose Messenger, Marketplace or my groups?
- No. Reelmute takes out the short-form feed and leaves the rest of Facebook exactly as it was — friends, groups, events, Marketplace, and your messages.
- Does hiding the Reels tab stop Reels appearing in my feed?
- It takes the tab away, and Reels keep arriving in the feed from the ranking. Reelmute removes both.
- Does this work on iPhone?
- Reelmute is an iPhone app. You can also shield the Facebook app itself with Screen Time, so Facebook opens where the Reels are already gone.
