Reels blocked
Short videos never load. The reels tab and inline reels are both removed before they reach your screen.
Suggested posts blurred
Posts from accounts you don't follow get blurred automatically. Replace them with fun facts, quotes, or language tips.
Ads removed
Sponsored posts and promoted content are filtered out of the feed. You only see people you chose to follow.
Messages still work
DMs, stories, and everything from people you follow stays exactly the same. Nothing useful is touched.
Stories stay usable
Stories from people you follow still work normally. Zen Social removes distractions without breaking the parts you actually use.
