Frequently Asked Question

What is NoScroll?

NoScroll is an app that helps you regain control of your time and focus by blocking distracting short videos on platforms like YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, tiktok, snapchat spotlight & stories and many more.

How does NoScroll work?

NoScroll uses accessibility features to detect if the user is doomscrolling the short videos. Depending on the configuration, NoScroll will force close the shorts video player immediately.

I have enabled NoScroll, but why am I still able to see short videos in the feed in supported apps?

NoScroll does not remove or hide short videos from your feed. Instead, it blocks the video from playing once clicked or disables the scrolling, depending on the configuration. However, it’s worth checking if you’re not on the Curious or Paused plan, as these plans allow you to watch short videos temporarily.

Why does the NoScroll accessibility service keep stopping?

Some device manufacturers, particularly those using MIUI OS like Xiaomi and Poco devices, restrict background app activity to save battery life or for some other reasons unknown to us. This can cause issues with NoScroll. To troubleshoot, follow the steps outlined in this video: How To Restart NoScroll Accessibility Service

Why did NoScroll suddenly stop working on my favorite app?

NoScroll may have stopped functioning on your favorite app due to changes in the app’s layout or view hierarchy in a recent update. As a temporary solution, consider downgrading your favorite video streaming app version until NoScroll starts blocking short videos again (avoid installing too old versions as they might not work or could have security issues). Please allow us some time to update our detection algorithms to detect and disable shorts or reels in your favorite app. We’ll notify you via in-app notifications or other communication channels regarding whether the app will be supported again and when. It’s important to understand that without access to the app’s source code, identifying changes and updating the NoScroll app algorithm to block short videos can be challenging. Therefore, we can’t guarantee the continuous support for all apps in the future.

Is the NoScroll app safe? My device shows a security warning due to the accessibility service.

Yes, the NoScroll app is 100% secure and safe to use. The security warning you’re seeing is likely due to the accessibility service required by NoScroll to function properly. This service is necessary for NoScroll to detect and block short videos in supported apps. While accessibility services can sometimes trigger security warnings, rest assured that NoScroll is designed to protect your privacy and data. If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out to us for assistance.

Sweet Words From Users

No Scroll: Transforming Thousands of Lives by Conquering Scrolling Addiction

This app is exactly what I needed! I have been addicted to YouTube Shorts for what feels like forever, but now, I can finally stop! I love how quietly this app works. It never interferes with anything other than Shorts, and sometimes I forget it's there! Although, I would like to not see them in my recommended page, but I still really like how it would automatically stop Shorts from being played, which is already helping. This app is a lifesaver!

I LOVE it. It has helped me get my precious time back, and spend it on things I really like. The premium version is worth the purchase even if it just to support the developers

I have been thinking several days to minimize shorts scrolling for my child. This app is working very good. Not only helped my child but also me to come out of youtube shorts addiction. I installed this app in all phones in my family..

Simple Does what it states Blocking shorts and reels. Have provided me mental peace after blocking shorts and reels. Watching them uncontrollably drained my brain. And now I am used to not watching them. If something is bit important to watch then I can get a break from this for 5-15 minutes Great!! : ))

Any shorts blocker couldn't be better. This app ofcourse blocks shorts and reels, but also doesn't malfunction. The best thing about this app is, the break feature which enables optional scrolling for 5-15 minutes after a hard day. Props to the devloper and the team
