In a world filled with endless feeds and short, addictive videos, it’s easier than ever to lose track of time. You open an app for a quick moment, and suddenly an hour has passed. Sound familiar? This is the core problem NoScroll was built to solve: to help you break free from the cycle of doomscrolling and take back control of your time and focus.
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of NoScroll 1.5.2, an update packed with powerful new features designed to give you even more control over your digital life. This version is currently being rolled out in phases to all beta users and a limited number of stable users. Here’s a closer look at what’s new.
New Levels of Control for Your Instagram Feed
We know Instagram can be one of the biggest time sinks. That’s why we’ve introduced two key features to help you navigate it on your terms.
- You’re in Control of Reels in DMs: We heard your feedback loud and clear. With this update, you now have the choice to allow Reels to play when they are sent to you in Direct Messages. This means you can stay connected with friends and family, sharing content with them without the app interrupting you. It’s about giving you the flexibility to choose when and where you want to engage.
- A Smarter Instagram Feed Blocker: This is a game-changer for anyone tired of the “Suggested for You” content. Our new Instagram Feed Blocker intelligently refreshes your feed to hide those new suggested posts. The result? Your feed returns to being a place of genuine connection, showing you content from the accounts you actually follow. No more getting lost in endless algorithm-driven recommendations.
Designed for Every Device
We believe that digital well-being tools should work for everyone, regardless of their device.
- Introducing Smart Mode: For those on older or less powerful devices, we’ve created “Smart Mode.” This feature intelligently optimizes the app’s resource usage, ensuring that NoScroll runs smoothly and efficiently without slowing down your phone. It’s an upgrade in performance that everyone can appreciate.
- Low Memory Warnings: To give you a better understanding of how the app is performing, NoScroll will now give you a clear warning when it detects low system resources. This helps you troubleshoot any issues and make informed decisions about your phone’s performance settings.
Expanded Support and General Improvements
Beyond the major new features, we’ve also been working hard on making NoScroll better across the board.
- Broader YouTube Shorts Support: We’ve expanded our blocking capabilities to include YouTube Shorts on two new apps: PW and JioSphere Browser. Now, more users on more platforms can benefit from NoScroll’s powerful features.
- Faster, More Stable Experience: We’ve made a number of significant performance enhancements under the hood, ensuring the app is faster and more reliable than ever. We also fixed a major crash that occurred while switching between plans and addressed other minor bugs to create a more stable, seamless experience.
This update is a testament to our commitment to helping you take back control of your digital life. Your feedback has been invaluable in making NoScroll a better tool for everyone.
