Using Instagram for DMs only on iPhone: a free option and its limits

0
·1 views

A developer's app, minulo, offers a free way to use Instagram for direct messages on iPhone by hiding Reels, Explore, and the home feed. The app opens Instagram inside its own window and can optionally lock the official app for up to two hours at a time. Its limits include being unable to modify the official Instagram app, no Android version, and no Instagram notifications while the official app is locked. Instagram has no built-in messages-only mode, and iPhone Screen Time can only limit the entire app, which also blocks DMs. The article compares other options, such as TikTok's similar setting and paid tiers, and notes that prices may change.
