Facebook without Reels.Groups, Marketplace, Events, Messenger — all intact.

What's left is Facebook for the reasons you actually still open Facebook: Groups, Marketplace, Events, Messenger. On-device only. 7-day free trial, then $3.99/mo.

FAQ

Does Facebook without Reels mean Facebook without Marketplace too?
No. Marketplace is one of the reasons people still use Facebook and we don't touch it. Same with Groups, Events, Messenger, Pages, and Notifications. Only Reels, the Watch tab, and suggested posts get removed.
Can I still send messages?
Yes. Messenger opens in a separate Dull session and works normally. Facebook without Reels doesn't mean Facebook without messaging — the filter is surgical.
What about Facebook Stories?
Stories stay. They're not short-form video in the Reels sense and they're not the part most people get stuck on. If you hate Stories specifically, Dull's grayscale and time-limit features make the whole app less sticky.
Does Dull work for Facebook groups on iPhone?
Yes. Groups are a huge chunk of what Facebook is still useful for. They load normally in Dull — posts, comments, admin tools, the whole thing. The filter only hits Reels and the Watch tab.
Is Facebook slower in Dull than in the native app?
It's the mobile web version, so it's slightly slower to first-paint than the native app. But it loads less garbage, so in practice it often feels faster. No ads-pretending-to-be-posts, no Reels autoplay, no Watch tab preloading video you didn't ask for.
How much does it cost and what else does Dull cover?
$3.99/mo, $14.99/yr, or $59.99 lifetime, all with a 7-day free trial. The same app also filters Instagram, YouTube, X, and Reddit — one purchase covers everything.

Why not just use Screen Time?

You can't turn Reels off inside the Facebook app — there is no setting. Screen Time blocks Facebook entirely and kills Marketplace and Messenger along with it. Safari content blockers don't run inside native apps. Dull gets you Facebook without Reels by loading Facebook in its own browser and removing Reels, Watch, and suggested posts at the page level. Groups and Marketplace stay.
