Awhile: Block Reels & Feed

Use Instagram without handing your attention to Reels. Awhile is a focused Instagram browser that keeps the useful parts within reach and hides the surfaces that trigger endless scrolling.

CHOOSE WHAT STAYS
. Block Reels and the home Feed
. Hide Explore and Stories
. Keep DMs, profiles and notifications
. Open a chronological Following Only feed
. Use Messages Only when you just need to reply

BUILT FOR INTENTIONAL CHECK-INS
Awhile loads the real Instagram website inside its own browser and applies your filters locally. It does not modify the native Instagram app. A timer, scroll reminders and section-level stats help interrupt doomscrolling without forcing you to delete your account.

FREE
. Hide Feed, Reels, Explore and Stories
. One Instagram account with no daily limit
. Grayscale, scroll reminders, PIN controls and daily stats

PREMIUM
. Messages Only and Following Only
. Up to 10 accounts, a session timer and detailed 7-day stats
. 2.99 EUR monthly after a 3-day trial, or 9.99 EUR once for Lifetime

PRIVACY
No ads and no advertising tracking. Instagram content, credentials and login cookies are not sent to ARCKONE. Limited EU-hosted analytics and privacy-scrubbed crash diagnostics can be disabled in Settings.

Awhile is an independent app by ARCKONE SRL. Instagram is a trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc. Awhile is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Meta.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Sign in to the real Instagram website inside Awhile, the same way you would in any browser.
2. Choose the surfaces you want gone: Feed, Reels, Explore, Stories.
3. Reopen the controls any time with a two-finger tap or the floating bubble.

GOOD TO KNOW
. Hiding Explore also hides the search tab. On Instagram’s mobile site they are the same navigation entry, so leave Explore visible if you look accounts up by name.
. Filters apply inside Awhile only. The native Instagram app on your phone is never modified.
. Awhile is a browser, not a client. No automation, no bots, no scheduled posting, no downloading of other people’s content.

WHO IT IS FOR
People who need Instagram for group chats and not for the feed. People who open the app for one message and close it forty minutes later. People who deleted the app and reinstalled it a week later. Awhile does not lock you out. It removes the pull.

QUESTIONS
Do you get my password? No. You log in on Instagram’s own website. Credentials and login cookies stay on your phone.
Does it change the Instagram app? No. Awhile only affects the sessions you open through Awhile.
Is my account at risk? Awhile never posts, likes, follows or collects. It hides parts of a page your phone already loaded.
What is free? Hiding Feed, Reels, Explore and Stories, with one account and no daily limit. Premium adds Messages Only, Following Only, up to 10 accounts, the session timer and 7-day statistics.
