FAQ

Does Dull remove short-form feeds from TikTok?
Dull doesn't support TikTok and probably never will. TikTok is 100% short-form vertical video — strip that and there's nothing left. If you want off TikTok, the honest answer is to delete the app. Dull is for platforms where the short-form feed is one feature sitting on top of something you actually use.
Which platforms does Dull actually cover?
Five: Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, and Reddit. Each one has its short-form feeds removed — Reels, Shorts, Watch, For You, and Reddit's 'Best' / recommended posts surfaces — while leaving the parts you came for alone.
How does it remove short-form feeds on iPhone specifically?
Dull loads each platform's mobile website inside its own WebView and injects three layers of filtering: iOS native content-blocker rules, CSS to hide elements on first paint, and JavaScript that catches anything that loads dynamically. It runs entirely on your device. Nothing goes through a proxy or server.
Will the native social apps still work normally alongside Dull?
Yes, but that kind of defeats the point. Most people delete the native apps from their iPhone home screen and put Dull in their place, so there's no short-form entry point. You can reinstall the originals anytime.
Is this a VPN, a Shortcut, or a browser extension?
None of those. Dull is a standalone iOS app. No VPN profile, no iOS Shortcut that breaks every update, no Safari extension. Just an app that runs social media in its own controlled browser.
How much, and can I try it first?
$3.99/mo or $14.99/yr or $59.99 lifetime. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.

Why not just use Screen Time?

'Digital wellbeing' apps and Screen Time block apps entirely. Safari extensions only work in Safari. Shortcut-based hacks die with every iOS update. TikTok bans on iPhone don't touch Reels, Shorts, or X's For You page. Dull is the only iOS app built specifically to remove short-form feeds across the five non-TikTok platforms that host them. One download, one subscription, five platforms scrubbed.
